- Comments: "great find by Ryan Goldberg. first in NY for me.
unmistakable black face mask. brown olive back.
seen for exactly 2 seconds twice. seems to flush out of yard on the south east corner of the garden. perched once on telephone lines and once on hammock in neighboring backyard.
very skulky--seen only twice in one hour.
also: respect garden rules and privacy of neighbors if you chase!"

- Comments: "Found earlier in the day — I was one of about 10 birders waiting for it when, seated in the southeast corner of the garden, it flew directly in front of me, maybe five feet away, and out of the garden and across the street. Yellow bird, black mask. Others spotted it briefly from where it landed before it took off out of the garden and out of sight."
