I went to try for the Ash-throated Flycatcher that was seen on 11/3. I really wanted to go that day, but couldn’t. I knew I’d probably miss out, but had to try, since I was off anyway. It was being seen at private residence and when I arrived, Brian (homeowner) came out to talk to us (another person looking). He was very nice and allowed us to walk about his property, in search of the bird. Right off the bat, there were 8 Red Crossbills at the top of his spruce trees. They flew right across the street into two spruce trees that were a little shorter in height. I figured since there was no sign of the flycatcher, might as well photograph these “bonus” birds! I don’t usually get to see them anyway, so it was nice. I also had one flyover White-winged Crossbill and several Pine Siskins. The day that Brian found the flycatcher, he also had some Evening Grosbeaks quickly stop by for a snack. Apparently his yard was a hotspot this week! The flycatcher however, was never seen again. Oh well, next I guess. Images below are from the morning. Enjoy!
