My wife and I took the kids on a bike ride down the trail today, they were biking, we were trying to keep up on foot :)  We paused at the swamp before turning around and I was delightfully surprised by what I thought was the "fitz-hugh" of a willow flycatcher.  I've only seen/heard this species once before and it's been about 5-6 years.  Upon returning home, I listened to my Peterson CD and I'm split now between Willow and Alder, leaning toward Alder.  I unfortunately didn't have my voice recorder with me, or binoculars, though that probably wouldn't have helped anyway.

I would love to have anyone in the area stop by the swamp and see what they think.  It's a new bird for the trail, far as I know, either way.  Please forward me any thoughts!!  Thanks in advance!!

Here's the spot:
