I found an Olive-sided Flycatcher on the TVA trail at the end of Wesley Road
in the Colonial Heights section of Kingsport, TN. This is my first record of
Olive-sided Flycatcher in Tennessee. I first spotted it at a distance in the
top of a dead tree. While I was watching, it would fly out collecting
insects and return to the same perch. After the second (of 4) times, I
thought it might be an Olive-sided. I was able to get close enough to get a
descent photograph. It never did sing, but I drank (quick) 3 beers anyway
to celebrate. :)
