Observation details
Female plumage bird first found by John Harshman and Beth Hamel on 10/28/17, refound on 11/4/17 by Matthew Dodder and birding group. I first spotted on island reported in Matthew Dodder's observations. It flew to the tall tree next to the wooden walkway to picnic area only to be bumped off by the Black Phoebe. It spent the rest of the time flycatching on the Bittern Trail near the road where I was able to photograph it. Mid day was not great for photography. I watched it for about 20 minutes and directed another birder who showed up to where it was flycatching.
