Hi, We just saw a light yellow-breasted bird (beak to vent)with two wing bars exhibiting flycatcher behavior from our Austrian Pine 15-30 ft from our seats on the deck. I thought Cordilleran, which would be a new yard bird for us. We got no good look at the eye. Good news and bad news. It was singing, always just two notes, high-pitched with the second note almost an octave higher than the first. Timbre: sweet, whistling, light-weight. Definitely sounded more like partial song Pacific-Slope than Cordilleran. Also caveat: looked like white or lighter outer tail feathers and Sibley doesn’t show that for either bird. Just watch/listen if you are near here. It is very singy and perching in the lower and outer branches.
