New Sighting
Only the Sachem is a possible late record date for the NYC area (?), others have been found later, most more than a few times. There was a potential Pearl Crescent sighting, but whatever it was escaped from view too rapidly! Weather was sunny & mild in afternoon - sightings were in the afternoon hours.
