I got a call from another islander recently who had just found a nest about
four feet up an alder against the trunk in the crook of a branch. The eggs are
pink with dots around one end. I have Alcorn's Northwest Birds: Distribution
and Eggs but it doesn't show any eggs that are pink. It lists the two
likeliest species, Pacific-slope Flycatcher and Hutton's Vireo as having white
eggs. Any suggestions out there? She hasn't been able to see the bird clearly
yet without disturbing it and will try to go back with binoculars.
