Greetings all. I bolted out to Rawhide as soon as I could after hearing about and seeing a photo of the Fork-tailed Flycatcher. I searched far and wide, taxing my car on a rutted out two-track, up and down Co Rd 5 and the roads to the West but came up empty. I counted 8 other birders while I was out there and I haven't heard of anyone else seeing it. It's anybody's guess where it got off to.
I was under the impression that it was seen around 9 am but that was wrong. It was seen around 6 am and I started searching around 2 pm, eight hours after the fact. I did see a photo and have no doubts about the identification. It was dark above with a black cap, white underneath and the eponymous tail streamers. I would post the photo but it's not mine and not my decision to. I will certainly ask for permission and put it up if okayed.
