I was down at Fort Smallwood Park in Pasadena on Sunday morning at 7AM. During the walk, I encountered a bird that I could not clearly identify. He was sitting at the top of a tree for the longest time and had a single note call that reminded me of a loud cricket. I didn't have a camera...Grrrrrr! It had a forked tail with a solid creamy chest and a dark head. It was probably 7-8". It flew to a nearby tree, then back to the other. This went on for 20 minutes. During this time, two other birders came by and none of us could identify it. Very frustrating. We think it may have been some type of flycatcher? I had seen lots of Eastern Kingbirds that day but this wasn't one of them. Any clues as to what we may have been seeing?
