Tom--I saw it today at Bombay Hook from approx. 11:45AM until about 12:30PM.
It was in Shearness Pool quite close to the road (near the parking area about
mid way along the Shearness dike road) in a flock of about 10 Snowy Egrets
and 2 Great Egrets. During this time about 10 birders saw it well. The flock
then flew out into the middle of Shearness. Its two head plumes and gray
lores make it unmistakable. It has also been observed from the Shearness
Observation Tower. Also, two Wilson's Phalaropes were at Raymond's Pool.
