Detalhes da observação
*Rare in winter, probably continuing from Erik Nielsen's sighting earlier in the month. Plain olive body transitioning to grayer head, with lighter yellow flanks and undertail. Broken eye-ring, and even part of the orange crown visible (pretty cool to see in the videos of it foraging). A pretty remarkable sighting: as I entered the park, I heard a loud lip-smack type chip call, that I strongly suspected could be OCWA, and sure enough as I pulled out my phone to record, immediately the bird flew right at me, flying within a foot or two of my face as it flew to a tree behind me. It then spent the next 10 minutes or so foraging on this tree. I'm not sure the species of tree, but it had some oozing, sap-like substance that the OCWA was clearly interested in. I had a really good look at this behavior, but it's still unclear to me if it was capturing insects in the sap, or sipping it. I'm pretty sure I saw it flicking its tongue out like a hummingbird or Cape May Warbler, but not as far out of the beak. It slipped away around dusk at about 5:30.
