After Frank Fekel and I enjoyed great looks at the Swainson's Warbler in  
Shelby Bottoms (thank you Phillip!), I decided to try the trail at Mission 
Hill  in Shelby Park for Olive-sided Flycatcher.  Just after almost deciding 
to  turn back, I heard the "three beers" call twice and then found it in a 
tree with  some dead branches at the top.  The white tufts on the sides of the 
rump  were well exposed. I got to watch it fly out and catch a 13-year 
cicada and then  bang the wings off of it on a branch.  The tree was a ways 
down 
the trail  just after it takes the first sharp curve to the right (south).  
Look to  the east from there, towards Shelby Lake, and the tree is easily 
seen.
 
Afterwards I drove through the park and saw a Common Nighthawk flying  
between the ball fields and the river.  Quite a morning!
