On Thursday I spotted at least 3 and maybe 4 Olive-sided Flycatchers southwest of Salida at about 8,000 feet elevation. In addition to having so many of this solitary species in one small area more than 1 one of birds would perch on branches near each other. Though late in the day I got photos of likely at least two of them that I have uploaded to my Birds and Nature blog. <http://birdsandnature.blogspot.com/> along with a description of the habitat. Also in that location was a family group of Western Tanagers including at least one fledgling that I observed being fed plus a Western Wood-pewee.
One the way back through the tiny town of Coaldale I spotted 2 male Williamson Sapsuckers on a utility pole. By then it was getting too late for acceptable photos.
