Observation details

Continuing rarity first discovered by Blair Witherington on 10/24 and later relocated by Tom Ledford on 10/25. The bird began in its usual haunts atop the Live Oaks above the fenced-in dog park before flying a good ways west into the preserve, repeating this back and forth flight twice. Beautifully elegant flycatcher freshly molted for fall (austral spring). Pics:
