Down the rabbit hole like Alice to confirm ID of this flycatcher in Connetquot River St Park.
Flew across the dirt road of the blue trail. perched on tree branch and sang note(s) then flew into another tree farther back. So: Appeared relatively large and long billed Appeared grayish above. (oh dear) Olive green tinge not evident in the overcast light and mist Was that a pale breast? Was the throat white/ whitish? Two wing bars buff or was that pale buffy whitish? Of course the evident eye ring. ;>) Ahhh the song, the key to ID: Was that a loud rising spit-a-KEET or an emphatic 2-note flee-see ? Was that a loud flat and strong squeaky pweest ? Or a sharp emphatic whut-ur-see ? Dare I grin like the Cheshire Cat?
