[Birdtalk] FW: Bird Sightings needed

[Colby Neuman]

Bryant,

Two summers ago (sometime in mid-June), I had a non-vocalizing (no
binoculars on me) empid in the general vicinity of the mill at the Tracy
Aviary.  Based on habitat and time of year, I assumed the bird to be a
Willow Flycatcher (breeding?), but I never went back to verify the
sighting...so I'd hold off putting it on the list, but I suspect Willow
Flycatchers could breed there.  Keep the list updated if you do indeed
verify this.
