Pacific-slope Flycatcher
I finally got one!! Two actually, an apparently mated pair. Give me an ID before I give you the location.

Here’s an Empid (and friends) we had on field trip today. Maybe someone else can post the other flycatcher (which I neglected to get pix of).
I have a couple. This first one is from NE Oregon on 6/21/22, in Wallawa mountains at 6500 feet in meadows with trees adjacent to pine/oak woodlands. There were at least 5 of the same species within a few 100 yards of each other vocalizing many times.
Here’s a pix of feather I found this morning showing feather abrasion.
Favorite Photos Here are a few I liked. I was pleased to find a Little Gull to get my gull-fix in !! Little Gull Friends !! I really enjoy the 2 groups of birders that Eric and I bird with on this annual trip!! Shorebirds Warblers and woodland passerines are only part of the fun…
More from the PacNW. I’ve been thinking of the many Western GUlls as “big birds” (58″ wingspan), but they were dwarfed as they escorted this eagle on its way. Eagle’s are 80″ wingspan. Also had gloaming fly-bys of Murrelet’s, Marbled I presume, but couldn’t be sure.
