The Western Kingbird was at its accustomed post in the sycamores this
morning between 8:30 and 10:00 AM.  Rob Hilton and Jim Stasz also picked
out an Empidonax flycatcher on the rail fence, and identified it as an
Alder Flycatcher on the basis of plumage (it was mostly silent).
Blackpolls were still present as well.
