[obol] Benton County ALDER/WILLOW FLYCATCHER continues

[Thomas Snetsinger]

OBOL,
I made a brief visit to the site where Randy Moore found the bird in question yesterday. It was 1030 AM and only a Peewee calling over the din of the swallows. I observed two silent WILLOW FLYCATCHERS. After 30 mins I detected a single ALDER-like song and observed a Empid with brightish wingbars (in comparison to the two WILLOW FLYCATCHERS) perched on an ash quite a distance away on the north side of the bridge and the east side of the slough. It disappeared before I could get much of a look with my binoculars. If not cooperative during my visit, I was encouraged that the bird was still present.
