In my haste to get word out I neglected to note that this bird was found Friday by Thom McLenahan

First discovered two days ago, this bird is continuing this morning on Mahaffey Road in the fort Edward/argyle area near the marsh area about 8/10 of a mile east of CR 42

It has not been seen since around 9 AM, AFAIK.
