Noteworthy rarities

Prospects PURPLE GALLINULE continues it's week long presence at the same location as usual.In Greenwood Cemetery, an ASH THROATED FLYCATCHER is reported there.

The Gallinule stays near the hairpin path at the bottom of Breeze Hill , in hhabitat in front of the tiny island. I heard from a friend who mentioned that Charles T took a photo of the gallinule almost caught by a Cooper's Hawk, surviving its near attempt.

Meanwhile over at the cemetery, an Ash throated Flycatcher appeared near Battle Hill at the "hawkwatch" I presumed is the Kiamie crypt. Whatever the reported vague location, there is an ash throated there.
