They weren't so easy to spot I was in the area earlier then went inside ENP for about an hour then came back and drove up & down for about 30 minutes before I saw the Scissor-tails then the flycatcher on the same fence. To be honest I still question whether it was the Ash-throated or the Great-crested because I did not here it call. Brian did you check the perimeter fence around Lucky Hammock?
The reason I lean towards the Ash-throated is because of its behavior. The flycatcher was doing what Robin described "the Ash-throated seemed to wander more. It was on the north side of 9336 part of the time and it moved east along the fence on the south side" I have never seen a Great-crested out in the open for so long they usually retreat after it spots you but not this one it stuck around for a while. I have some atrocious pictures but maybe you guys can tell. Flycatchers are a very difficult ID for me.
