Hello Dean,
We just had an olive sided flycatcher at the end of our street. I heard him
calling, and saw him fly from one tree top to another. ran inside to get
camera. When I returned outside he had flown further away across the field of
the neighboring farm, heard him call 2 or 3 more times then gone.

Tuesday morning (5 Aug 2014) I had a very early Olive-sided Flycatcher in our
woods in west Knox Co, TN around 07:15. Bird was seen well from behind for
about a minute with my 10x Swarovskis and all field marks noted. Very dark
flycatcher with dark back and wings with no clear wingbars. Edge of the dark
vest just visible on upper flanks below wing. Slight crest. Bright white
throat sharply contrasting against dark face. Sturdy bill with yellow base.
Appropriate primary and wing length noted. And white tufts were just poking
out above rump.
Bird was perched on highest snag, flew up to flycatcher, and then disappeared
down west-facing side of the ridge.
Robinson lists a few records from late July and early August. This is my
earliest of a few fall records here though I had a "probable" bird here in
mid-August last year.
Also my first true migrant for fall here in the yard but have had some more
local post-breeding dispersals including an immature Prairie Warbler on 26 July
and female/immature Am Redstart on 30 July.
