Observation details
All three birds were within the same area of the park near shelter 1 (1/4 mile of each other). Bird 1 was in a large oak tree in the western-most parking lot with 4 eastern bluebirds that were also working from that tree. It alternated between 3 different perches between flycatching. It was in some of the lowest limbs of the oak, but still 10-15 feet off the ground. It was smaller than a bluebird that sat near it. Bird 2 was at the bottom of the eastern-most parking lot in a maple tree that overhangs the lake shore. It alternated between 2 perches that were about mid-height in the tree (maybe 12 feet off the ground). I was playing some sounds at low volume for myself to refresh my memory of what I was listening for to distinguish if it could be an ALFL or WIFL rather than an EAWP. Bird stayed on its perch and didn't seem affected, but it's crest is somewhat elevated in two of the photos after I did that, so I stopped playing sounds in case it disturbed the bird. Bird 3 was on the power line near the beach entrance.No vocalizations that I recognized as from any of these birds. Late migrants?
