[dtrently <dtrently@xxxxxxx>]

I just returned from the site of the reported Vermilion Flycatcher. I MAY have 
seen the bird. What I saw was a red bird perched on a wire a long way off...it 
did not look like a cardinal, but before Audrey Hoff could get her scope out 
of the car the bird flew off.
What I saw through binoculars:
dark red bird sitting upright on a wire.
Tail not as long as a Northern Cardinal
I tried to turn it into a cardinal, but just couldn't...but I could not 100% 
turn it into a Vermilion Flycatcher.
When it flew away, it certainly appeared to have dark wings.

All I can say for sure is that this COULD have been a Vermilion! I'll try to 
go back on Saturday.
