Paul Suchanek, Steve Zimmerman, and Richard Gordon came over and viewed the bird for several minutes. "A Myiarchus flycatcher identified as this species was observed on 20 July 1999 at Auke Bay near Juneau by G. B. van Vliet et al. (NAB 53:422). The photographs (at UAM) are inadequate to substantiate this identification." -- Western Birds 34: 129 Overcast skies, no wind or precipitation, seen intermittently as close as 5 meters with Leitz 10X25 for ~2 hrs.
