- Comments: "Very shy flycatcher, would appear briefly, dissappear for 15 minutes, then return. Feeding on bees/insects on the three blooming Washington Hawthorn trees on the Eastern Pky side of the park. Possibly two birds here. Yellow wash on front, olive upper parts, two bold white wingbars, white eye ring. Did eventually vocalize, but was mostly silent while feeding. Sketchy pics to follow"

- Comments: "*uncommon but expected as a sort of specialty later migrant. Spotted by MCHL as it sprung from the drip at Dell Water before diving into the brush; obscured views were diagnostic showing a bright yellow undertail and an indigo bunting-like tail swish, but it did eventually show itself near the bee boxes before going back into the tickseed pit.
