I have just one photo of the flycatcher with an insect. I'm curious
what it is myself. Here is a link to it. http://www.pbase.com/dianawhitingphoto/image/118800510
There are a couple others in the same gallery. I found it a pretty
hard subject to get tack sharp unless it was sitting as it did briefly.

Thanks to George for pointing out that "spoor" is Dutch for "spur".
If you look at
that road it is an extension of one of the two old RR beds.
Meena, et al who were fortunate to see this birds. Did any of you
note what it was
feeding on? We assume it tanked-up on Monday before departing. If
Sunday was
anything like Monday the area was replete with Sympetrum vicinum
(Autumn Meadowhawk)
dragonflys, many of them in tandem (mating)posture and easy targets.
Was the
flycatcher feeding on these? Thanks.
