Owen Schmidt and I again visited the Sod House Ranch (the usually off limits
historic ranch between HQ and the Field Station).  The apparent YBFL was
very cooperative.  We usually saw it near the old wagon.  It often came to
the ground for insects.  It also spent a lot of time in the dry swale nearby
with its jumble of sticks, and in the lower branches of nearby trees.
Really super views.  Owen got more video in good light.

In shape it is very reminiscent of a Least Flycathcer - but different
primarily in coloration.  It appear to have short primary projections.

Windy and cold today.
