- Comments: "Continuing rarity found by Nick D. I hypothesize even maybe a refind of the prior Owls Head Park one a few weeks back. Rather cooperative, the second passerine? I laid eyes on, I thought i flushed it from a branch above me only to discover it even closer to me on the wooden fencing, territorially defending a red berry bush (virginia creeper?) from the hermit thrushes.

 Tyrannus flycatcher with deep yellow chest/vent and gray head with greenish back. Dark eyestripe. White outer tail feathers visible in one photo i'll post."

- Comments: "Beautiful bird found by Nick.D yesterday. Not sure i have ever seen a bird being this cooperative besides for catbirds, Mockingbirds,(and of course the Pigeons). Seen flycatching from the 3 bare trees at the restrooms, but it would return to eye level perching on the wooden fence that runs adjacent to the official path. Feeding on the berrys of the Virginia creeper that are growing on the fence."
