The La Sagra's Flycatcher continues in Bill Baggs Cape Florida SP. Late this morning it called and was seen periodically along the dirt Nature Trail. About 7 birders got excellent looks ~10 AM and Larry took good photos. Tricia is working on photos this afternoon. From 11:30-12:45 PM it slowly drifted south from the original sighting location. At 12:45 it called 4 times then flew across Pond 5, giving excellent looks. The bird flies slowly with slight undulations and the rufous in the tail is visible. As I indicated before, this bird is extremely pale but a slight yellowish cast was visible when it flew. It perched for <1 minute in a Florida trema, then dropped into thick vegetation.
The attached Google Earth image shows that the bird is covering a large territory south of the "bathroom road" intersect.
