Observation details
Seen and heard at (34.1810388, -118.4927811) at 0740. This area is a concrete walking path that forms the outside western border of the golf course. I stood with my back to Balboa Lake, with the boat rental house that rents out large white plastic swan shaped boats to my right and behind me (The bird was 100 yards north by north east of the above mentioned boat rental house). I believe that I heard the bird earlier at 0655, when I first arrived. Besides the distinctive mournful calls, The bird’s appearance was distinctive in that for a Myiarchus Flycatcher it had a proportionately small body and large head. The abdomen was bright yellow, extending up into a grayish white chest and throat. The head was mostly gray, several shades darker than the throat. I was not able to study the pattern of the tip of the undertail. Photographs obtained both because the bird pulled a Houdini, and because I am not allowed to carry anything heavy for the next six weeks so I’m not hauling my camera around despite being off work until March.
