- Comments: "Reported earlier by Forrest.  Heard calling (free-BEER) with several other observers on the path on Lookout above the picnic area/lampost 249.  Recording.  We then saw briefly (for a few seconds) saw a flycatcher that appeared consistent with a Traill's before it flew further up the hill.  I did not subsequently hear it.  County bird."

- Comments: "Paved path above wellhouse containers/today's Alder spot. Maybe the same bird Forrest found yesterday and Juan had been hearing earlier. Started hearing it much more clearly suddenly, that chugging song, and saw it right along the path for a while, tracking toward Maryland monument. Then joined by Karen and Jeff we watched it work its way back toward the Alder spot. Bright yellow belly and undertail all the way through, gray head, black bib. Photos. Temporary BOC/will replace!"
