Rob Hilton reports from Monkton that the flycatcher showed up at 9:50 this 
morning and was still in view at 10:15.   The sun was shining through high 
clouds.   Yesterday the sun first broke through at 10:45 and the bird appeared at 
10:55 at a spot up to half a dozen people had been scanning for four hours.    
According to Rick Sussman it popped out of a thick Bittersweet tangle and may 
have been roosting there all along.   It then flew around to various perches 
along the trail eating at least one Bittersweet berry and a Holly berry (and 
with that tiny bill!) before disappearing to the north.   Today it worked its 
way a little south of the stone building remnants.   Enjoy.
