Today at work, I saw a small, gray Flycatcher with a slight crest flitting  
around the buildings (West Desert).  I didn't see any yellow,  but there were 
wingbars.  Poor thing, there are no bugs in our area  yet.  I didn't have 
binocs with me, but I'll take them tomorrow.  If  it is still around, I'll be able 
to get more details.  It just seems really  early for Flycatchers to be here, 
but apparently this guy/gal wants to be the  "earlybird".  Curiously, has 
anyone else seen one yet??
 
We have a nesting pair of Golden Eagles in a widely-used training area  grid. 
 Thankfully, the Post Commander has given them a 1-mile zone.   No 
training/testing/gawking is allowed in their vicinity on pain of  criminal/civil 
penalties until final fledging.  The entire area is cordoned  off.  The Environmental 
office may be installing a Web-cam.  If  they do, I'll post the address for 
those who might be interested.
