The first I've heard. No doubt a few pass through in migration. But I
don't see them, and even if I did, I doubt I could ID them by sight. (I
have heard several flycatcher species in the neighboring parks like
Magnuson.) Didn't hear the O-s Flycatcher today, though. Perhaps it was
too inhospitable for him.

I hope to meet you in the field one of these days, too, Andy. In fact, I
hope to meet anyone in the field one of these days. I hope to get in
the field again one of these days. (Is there life after Gap?)
