This morning on Maury Island several of us saw a flycatcher that was calling
with a steady call note, ten or twelve in a row about half a second to a
second apart. The note was about the same tonal quality as the first note of
quick three beers of an Olive-sided Flycatcher and somewhat reminiscent of the
tonal quality of a Pgymy Nuthatch but not at all the same cadence.

It was flycatching from Doug fir trees in forest dominated by Pacific Madrone
with some Doug fir.
