My sister Barbara and I were in Montauk today. We arrived around 11:00 AM. There were 2 birders (Noel and his friend) there who had briefly viewed the Ash-Throated prior to our arrival and stayed for better views.
At around 2:30 the bird was sighted again, low in the bushes that run parallel to Edgemere/Flamingo perpendicular to the hedgerow parallel to Montauk Manor. It disappeared again for about 15 minutes and reappeared a few times. Despite being very low in a bushy area, excellent views of the bird were obtained over the next 20-30 minutes or so. If you plan on trying for the bird, and do not readily see it, patience and searching low in bushes may be called for. Thanks to Noel and his friend for great spotting.
