Re: [cayugabirds-l] ??? Now:Olive-sided flycatcher in GBHer nest SSWt
Thanks for the tip, I spotted it there just a minute ago -- just before I hit send on this email, it was chased off by waxwings. But several of us saw it at the top of the bigger heron tree.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] ??? Now:Olive-sided flycatcher in GBHer nest SSWt
After Jay's first alert a week ago, I was successful in spotting the Olive-sided sallying off the tall dead snags most visible from end of Sherwood Platform (50' from platform slightly to the right of a line drawn down the length of the boardwalk leading to the platform). He was silent the whole time, ignored my half-assed attempts to whistle 'whip-three-beers', and spent quite a while just catching good things to eat. There was a small mob of Cedar Waxwings around though they tended to work the bugs at a lower level. There have been a couple Eastern Kingbirds back in that area for the last month or longer, and Eastern Wood-Pewees calling from the woods (where else) but not visible to me. Of course the next day, with camera in hand, he was not evident, though I sort of convinced myself on the basis of GISS alone, that I saw him on the top of a snag all the way down at the other end of the south east end of the pond, barely visible in 10x glasses and I suspect not visible from the other boardwalk, so I didn't make the effort. I'm hopeful he'll be evident again today, as I'm packing the optics! It would be great if he was working off the Heron Tree: much easier shot!

[cayugabirds-l] ??? Now:Olive-sided flycatcher in GBHer nest SSWt
Sorry, Ok my "hair trigger" device also sent that out before I intended. I hate to retract but I'm not positive about the olive-sided now. If only it would do a "quick three beers" for me. ;-) so I'm not going to officially count it. I am positive of the bird in that tree still now though. The great blue heron. Ha ha. Just a wee bit easier to identify. I guess one isn't a good/honest bird watcher if they don't have to retract something once in awhile. Gotta go now to figure out which swallow this is I'm watching before phone dies.
