We live in Medina on NE 12th Street about a hundred yards east of
Evergreen Point Road (but a good mile south of where Evergreen Point
proper begins). An Olive-sided Flycatcher has been calling every year for
about the last ten years, beginning usually in late May, from conifers
along Evergreen Point Road; it's easily and regularly heard from our back
yard into July. Steve's bird or a different one?
