Fun Birds So Far This Week

Earlier this week I heard that someone had seen an Olive-sided flycatcher out at Starrigavan parking lot. I went out there with dad to look for it, but by the time we got out there a hawk had flown over and the Flycatcher had left.

Yesterday dad told me that there was a Brown-headed cowbird by castle hill, so I walked down there and found the Cowbird. I took some photos of it then I headed home to do my paper route.  Once I got home from my paper route I got on line and saw that someone had seen a Flycatcher of some kind up by the transfer station. Dad had gone up there to look for it but did not find it.

This morning I got up and walked around the park then walked up by the transfer station to look for the Flycatcher. When I got up there I saw the person that had observed the Flycatcher the day before. Just then I saw a couple of Flycatcher looking birds fly up and land. I went into the muskeg and walked over towards the person. They told me where the Flycatchers had landed and I took some photos of the Flycatchers. I texted dad and told him that they were up there and continued to take photos of them.  By the time dad got there one had disappeared and I had lost the other. After a few minutes of looking I refound one of them and we watched it and took photos of it for a while. Dad thought it might be an Olive-sided flycatcher while we were watching it, I headed home and checked to confirm that it was an Olive-sided flycatcher. It was indeed an Olive-sided flycatcher.
