Crazy photos! I certainly should not chime in on any flycatcher ID, ever. Glad the gloom is getting you in the mood for Oregon!

I noted the short tail in the field though too.<br /><br />It's double weird to see that bird in the same spot a year apart and no other member of that species in between. <br /><br />Anyhow, thanks for the correction. <br />How tough is GRVI in California?Laurence Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766876797454283812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791077723521794200.post-51742886474115181242016-05-02T21:51:52.556-07:002016-05-02T21:51:52.556-07:00Your GRVI shots are GRAVY.

Again, I've never seen GRVI that well, let alone pointed a camera at one at such range.<br /><br />The white throat, shortish tail and dull peak to the crest make me think OSFL instead of pewee...am I crazy? Jen should chime in on this.Seagull Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851438505719552645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791077723521794200.post-27790086945927865322016-05-02T06:48:03.770-07:002016-05-02T06:48:03.770-07:00Cheers Greg,

I can't comment too much, but Painted is a pretty good one; good thing y'all have like 15 other Warblers you can still bring to bear in the ''equal to or greater than'' category.Laurence Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766876797454283812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791077723521794200.post-89103909036838839982016-05-02T06:46:37.890-07:002016-05-02T06:46:37.890-07:00Thanks Tommy,
