In case Kevin doesn't post this prominently...
Our regular Sunday walk this morning at Cylburn Arboretum (northern 
Baltimore City) featured an Olive-sided Flycatcher. And I just got a 
call from Mark Linardi about 4:45 PM saying he was getting good looks 
at it in the same location.

It was hanging around one of the tallest spruce trees in the area 
about 50-100 yards NE of the gazebo which is near the mansion circle. 
From the circle you would walk north of the gazebo towards the main 
woods to a wooden bench with an inscription to "Mindy Amor" on it and 
check the tall spruces before the woods. The bird is conspicuously 
large, dark, and short-tailed compared to the more common flycatchers, 
and it really liked the tallest snag on one spruce tree.
