Observation details

A brief look in some chokecherries in good light, then another glimpse in a nearby American elm. Extensive pale yellow on underside with relatively dense streaking on breast and flanks, yellowish rump. Gray auricular patch, one thick white bar in wing coverts. Some white in outer tail. Then, to my astonishment, I reencountered what appeared to be the same individual ~50 m away in the American elm at 1st and Montana, where it perched on a low branch in plain sight for over a minute, moving slowly and probing for insects. Photos and video. Minimum one bird; this one looked similar to the brighter individual I saw yesterday. I also got a glimpse of what may have been a second individual that was even brighter, with nice chestnut auriculars, but not enough to confirm it wasn't a glimpse of the same one in different light.
