     You're only a few blocks away.  I've studied the flycatcher pair a bit 
     more and re-studied my field guides; I'd now put my money on 
     great-crested, but I'm still not certain.  Are they common in these 
     parts?  
     It's probably my imagination, but they seem to be intrigued by human 
     activity.  When I go up the hill to work in veg. garden, they seem to 
     get close for a better look.  Perhaps it's just that the nest is near 
     by.  They are absolutely beautiful birds, and their vocalization is 
     thrilling.

James -- We may be the closest to you, in Sherwood Forest (off Beaumont, 
which is off Sherwood Forest Dr.) We know where Vierling Dr. is. We wouldn't 
mind coming by and looking at your flycatchers -- the only "catch" is that
I have dog shows the next three days, so may not be able to get over during 
the peak times. Will see if I can coerce my husband Barry to have a look.
     
 We'll call beforehand. Oh, in case someone else comes by email me with the
"diagnosis"-- thanks,
