Before getting rained out this morning, I briefly saw the La Sagra's Flycatcher early and then heard it call twice at 8:25. Joan and I returned at 11:15 to a sunny, warm and quiet park. After trying the dirt Nature Trail, we employed the "Puschock Procedure" at 11:45 and walked north on the paved bike path. We immediately found the flycatcher 100 yards from the bathrooms. Although silent, it was cooperative and allowed nice views as it hawked insects and flailed caterpillars. John's theory seems correct -- the bird seeks shadier areas of its territory when it's sunny and warm.
