Re: [nysbirds-l] Interesting Flycatcher from Greenwood Cemetery Brooklyn NYC
For those interested in credit chain of command, it was Eddie Monson, a california birder, who first flagged the photos as being a potential elaenia. His sister lives in NYC and he was browsing photos to see what was around.Sent from my iPhoneOn Jul 31, 2023, at 06:32, Andrew Baksh wrote:I am cross posting a report that was shared by Anthony F. on one of the What’sApp group of a flycatcher listed as a Least in the included eBird checklist.
