I went to Robert's Bird Sanctuary this morning at 7. I was hoping to hear
my first red winged black birds on the pond this year. I did get to hear
them. I was also treated to two very unusual migrants. In what I call the
black swamp to the north of Bossen Lane (between the lane and the cemetery
storage sheds), I saw a flycatcher and what I believe was a veery. The
flycatcher was very yellow underneath so I believe it was a yellow bellied
flycatcher. (Correct me if this is too early). The thrush was a
brown/olive on top with a warm red brown tail. The chest stripping was very
faint and the belly was clear of any markings.
