Hi --

The Olive-sided Flycatcher (or its twin) was still in the Maintenance Yard at Rock Creek Park DC this morning. Not as cooperative as yesterday, it flew from one snag to another and had disappeared by the time I left at about 8 am. But it might well be sticking around, as it did disappear for some time yesterday as well.

Otherwise, VERY slow -- both in the Yard and at the Ridge -- just a handful of warblers at the Maintenance Yard and Nature Center, which included Canada, Black-throated Blue, Ovenbird (heard), Nashville, Chestnut-sided and Yellowthroat.

Thrushes were in evidence, with both Veery and Swainson's but no Gray-cheeked yet(?) Lots of Red-eyed Vireos.
