- Comments: "Maybe continuing rail from Sunday found by Monica? But then alerted by Kevin, took about an hour of fruitless searching with max finally relieved by ant catching a couple glimpses and Xinyi finally catching it out in the open. Furtive, petite dark brown bird with brilliant orange beak, record photos coming, hanging out here  (40.6638137, -73.9709302)"
