The olive-sided flycatcher in my yard returned on May 11th this year, just one day later than last year's arrival, and has been active most days since then. I usually hear calls and songs all day, and can often spot the flycatcher sitting on his favorite snag in the middle of the ravine. Several pacific-slopes and one or more wood-pewees have also been present this year as in previous years, and I heard a couple Hammond's singing in the forest during migration.

Good birding, Joshua Glant

Olive-sided are unusual here, except sometimes in the fall. Also I heard no vireos this spring. On the other hand, I had several male rufous hummers all spring and early summer, until about 2 weeks ago. Have had both rufous and Anna's all spring, and still have female/young rufous, as well as the resident Anna 's.
