The Scissor-tailed Flycatcher vanished before we got there, and a quick search by Bob, Sarah, Ken & Sue Feustel, Pat, and I did not produce it. There was a hint of overhead movement east to west, including a very unseasonal Pine Siskin, so I think it might pay to search any and all vagrant traps along the coast (mid June is a great time for landbird vagrants on LI, and it certainly feels like late June here already).
On a more positive note, Mike Higgiston reports that the two Wilson's Phalaropes are still present at Mecox Bay.
