Bob, I feel your pain. I’ve been very disappointed that with the barrage of records of rare birds on eBird that few observers share their sightings with tweeters anymore.
I don’t know if tweeterdom has heard of the female Vermilion Flycatcher on Ebey Island in Snohomish County that has been around for a while. We learned about it from eBird, went up there this morning and failed to see it, although one of the Black Phoebes there put on a show for us. The farmlands and scattered copses and hedge rows there look like they could be home for many species of birds.
If you are interested, you can easily find the coordinates by looking at eBird online.

I would have thought (hoped?) that a mega like that would have made it on to Tweeters (to which I have long subscribed). i would have chased it immediately, as my shorebird list is my favorite list. So I checked the Tweeters Archives.
