[mou] Oberg Mountain Olive-sided Flycatcher

[shawn conrad]

Well, not exactly....I just figured people might want to try this one while 
at Oberg.

As I waited for the hike at Oberg today, I decided to take a hike in the 
other direction from the same parking lot (Laveau [sp?] Loop, I think).  The 
trail in this direction goes through great conifers where I had great looks 
at a singing Cape May early on the trail, lots of Blackburnians as well and 
possibly a Bay-breasted (sounded like one, never got a look).  Numerous 
other common warblers as well.

About the time I reached the bridge over the Onion River (about 10-15 minute 
walk, gentle), I heard a singing Olive-sided Flycatcher.  I hiked just past 
the bridge to the hardwoods and was stopped near the big cedar when I heard 
a Black-throated Blue Warbler.

Also, the Indigo Buntings and Black-throated Blue were visible on Oberg.
