About 10:30 this morning I relocated the YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER at
Schooley Mill Park in Howard County.  As I was walking north on the
carriage trail, just north of marker 28, I thought I heard an
unfamiliar flycatcher-like call.  When I played the YBFL song and call
on my iPod, the bird flew in immediately.  It flew back and forth
between two medium-sized, half-dead walnut trees on either side of the
path - giving me several good looks - before it flew off to the tree
line to the east.

Earlier, I also relocated the OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER at the beaver
pond.  It perched briefly in the dead top of a living tree toward the
back of the pond.

See Joe Hanfman's message from yesterday for more details and a link
to a map of the park.  Thanks to all who posted about these birds.
