The experts are saying Greater Pewee. ________________________________ From: Greg Page <gregpage1465@xxxxxxxxx> To: Texbirds <texbirds@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, October 5, 2012 9:42 PM Subject: [texbirds] rare flycatcher 10-5-12 Jim Hinson and I found an unusual Flycatcher at Bear Creek today and later Teri Zambon and I refound it. Jim was the first to spot it while we were on Sullin's Way at Bear Creek Park in Harris County. We thought it looked unusual but were not sure what it was. Some have suggested Greater Pewee or Cuban Pewee.

When Teri and I went back later we heard it call. I played a recording of an Olive-sided Flycatcher and Greater Pewee for comparison and it sounded very close to the Greater Pewee but not exactly like it. It would perch high in a tree and fly out to catch insects and usually land back in the same spot. Greg Page Houston
