I spent about 2 1/2 hours this afternoon.with (and without) the
flycatcher. It called only intermittently. It seemed to be loosely
associated with the local feeding flock of American Robins, but was
obviously smaller. The most entertaining part was watching its
occasionally wildly erratic flight pattern. It went as far as the far side
of the meadow to the west, and disappeared for a while into the trees on
the west side of that meadow. A resident of the home on the hill said that
the bird spends most of its time in the canyon area of the small stream on
the east side of the road near the MP1 marker. The bird was still present
at 4pm when I left.
There's a nice wide pullout near mailbox 980, but please don't block access
to the mailbox for the mail carrier.
