Hello all; My son and I found the Great Crested Flycatcher today near the same area in Longmont. We drove by the school on the off - chance we could catch it today (Friday, July 7th) at ~12:30pm. It was not calling but we found it sitting on a circular concrete seating area to the south of the Volleyball court. It would fly between the seating area, the school roof and a half - dead shrub.
Beautiful bird! Thanks for the heads - up. Tracy Pheneger Longmont, Co On Fri, Jun 29, 2012 at 12:57 PM, Scott E.
