Plumbeous V gazes into distances ……..”thar be Empids out thar!!!”

Plumbeous V gazes into distances ……..”thar be Empids out thar!!!”

I finally got one!! Two actually, an apparently mated pair. Give me an ID before I give you the location.
and a few more.
Spent about 4 hours on morning of November 9 staking out Santa Elena canyon overlook with a buddy and some pleasant fellow birders trying to see nutting’s flycatcher. Had to settle for heard only but we heard it about 10 times and have no doubts.
Here’s the “you are there” video!!
Been hearing many of these on the Oregon Coast. Do you know the ID? (not the robin). Been extremely hard to see (much less photo) any of them. Too many trees!!!
A chance to practice your silhouettes (and to be amazed that Plumbeous V can spell silhouette!). Only had 1 HO empid on this trip thus far. Near Cuba, NM. Not sure species.
