James Leone suggested this pin for where we saw the bird: 41.2664335, -72.9302260. That seems pretty good to me.
Mark Aronson, who first spotted it, & I were in that area about 8:15, looking at caterpillar nests & almost seeing birds. He thought he heard it briefly.
It was also seen I believe in the copse of trees one comes to just on the left as one walks out to the beach.
A rainy morning, but cloudy afternoon — good luck!
