Hi Everyone,
I'm glad I created some excitement on a cold day. To get to where I found
the bird, turn off Croft Road toward the Corps of Engineers office. Almost
immediately you will see a road off to the left that goes to the Crabill
House. It was just down that road a little ways in the trees and shrubs on
the left or west. With the sun shining from the east it was feeding in the
sunniest areas. There is parking a little farther along the main road. It
did make any sound at all that we heard.

Doug, this is an outstanding find!
Please, in addition to taking (these great!) photos please record any call
notes the bird gives. This may help us with the identification, as many
empids can be separated out on call note alone.
good birding!

Julie Karlson and I were birding at Buck Creek State Park this morning and
almost back to the car when we spotted a bird moving in the brush. We looked
and were very surprised to see an Empidonax flycatcher. I told Julie to
watch it while I ran back to the car to get my camera. I got back and we
found the bird again and followed it for several minutes and I took pictures
of the bird. We called Brian Menker and Larry Jeanblanc and they both
arrived in a little while. We had lost the bird but a few minutes later we
spotted it again but only for half a minute. We drove home and I looked at
my pictures. It pumped its tail up but otherwise acted like a flycatcher.
Julie saw it find a caterpillar so it was finding food. I have posted
several pictures on eBird. I would appreciate any ideas on what species it
is. My best guess is Yellow-bellied, Cordilleran, or Pacific Slope since it
was very green on the back. Here is a link to the eBird list.
