I have a belated report of a PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER on October 9th. I was
in South Olympia off of Boulevard Road on the side of the road. All of a
sudden I heard a call: Pee-o-seet! It took me a minute to figure out that I
was hearing a flycatcher due to what I call my "annual flush from the brain
of the neotropic bird calls until next spring." The bird called several
times in the few minutes that I was on the side of the road.
How late will these birds hang around?
