Hi Peter,
The day was peaceful, aAnd a bit hot, but with a nice breeze. The birds were....slow...but we had some good ones, including Mourning Warbler, Alder Flycatcher, Olive-sided Flycatcher, Least Flycatcher (see a theme here...) Traill's sp (probably Willow...) and more.
Thanks to Linda Ewing for the post on the Alder Flycatcher.
For the group I've included some photos of the Olive-sided and Eastern Wood-Pewee.
Notice both birds have mottled undertails, the OS with larger black centers.
The tail on the OS is very short and wide, with a short projection past the undertail coverts.
The wings in the EWP are very long, with long primary projection. They usually hit the undertail coverts. The tail is a bit longer and narrower than the OS.
The OS also has a very contrasting white throat, whereas the EWP's throat is more blended with the upper breast.
Sorry for the touch pictures, but both were distant, a bit of a workout for my "bridge" camera with just a handful of pixels available for both!
Finally, thanks very much to Rob Bate and Eleanor for co-leading, as Karen was not available.
SEE EVERYONE THIS AUGUST FOR FALL MIGRATION, IF NOT BEFORE!
