[obol] Winter-time flycatchers

[otis swisher]

Dennis, et al:  Does a Merlin get registered when it is capturing October Caddis over the Rogue River?  An October Caddis  is the size of a small moth (about 2" across between wing tips).  Seen by Vince Zauskey and me at Dodge Bridge.  Among the Woodpeckers, an Acorn Woodpecker paused in direct mid-flight to "hawk" an unknown species of insect, then proceed on course to a Ponderosa  Pine snag, on Roxy  Ann Butte East of Medford  though not in the winter.
