[mou] Olive-sided Flycatchers

[Pastor Al Schirmacher]

Two Olive-sided Flycatchers on Blue Hill Trail, Sherburne NWR this morning.

Typical first of year OSF sighting (primarily internal conversation):

"Olive-sided Flycatcher!"

"Or, suppose it could simply be a teed-up Peewee.  What were the 
distinguishing field marks again?  I know that the top of tree, upright 
stance is not 100% diagnostic.  Grumble, grumble, grumble....  Suppose I 
shouldn't count it."

"Quick, three beers!"

"Then again...."

Only nine warblers this morning, two non-resident (Tennessee and 
Black-throated Green):  Chestnut-sided everywhere, Golden & Blue-winged very 
common.

Good birding to all!
