Observation details

At back of private property, no public access whatsoever. First spotted by Brett, perched in the open on a sign. Medium flycatcher with a big gray head, a short smudgy black eyeline, prominent white throat, olive gray upperparts and rich lemon yellow belly. Extremely worn remiges, with pale buff fringes to the tertials and pale outer rectrices. A nice moult limit in the greater coverts visible at close range, a large block of dark olive gray replaced inner greater coverts contrasting with heavily worn outer coverts and the rest of the wing. Quite active, perching still on reeds or branches over ice and pouncing every now and again, presumably in pursuit of insects persisting in spite of cold. Stood rather awkwardly on the ice a number of times. First winter record of this species for the province.
