Actually the timing is perfect. If you look at eBird's bar chart for species reported in Tompkins County:
http://ebird.org/ebird/GuideMe?step=saveChoices&getLocations=counties&parentState=US-NY&bMonth=01&bYear=1900&eMonth=12&eYear=2013&reportType=location&counties=US-NY-109&continue.x=46&continue.y=8
Spring migrants Olive-sided Flycatchers, more rare, have been reported from early May to mid June peaking at the end of May.
Fall migrants show up from early August to late September with a broader peak at the end of August and beginning of September.
Nice find, Wes, and a great description, too!

Why I think that the bird is an Olive-sided Flycatcher (which shouldn’t really be here now)
