I am hoping someone who lives or spends some time birding around Lake
Washington can provide a subjective observation on the occurrence of
olive-sided flycatchers.

>From the Bent Life Histories it was stated that at the turn of the century
there was approximately one pair (presumably one singing male) of olive-sided
flycatchers per mile of shoreline along Lake Washington.

How about now? Does the species still occur along Lake Washington? If so,
does anybody have any estimate of density? spacing of singing males? Thanks
in advance for your help.
