In Reply to: Possible La Sagra's Flycatcher at A.D. Barnes posted by Alex Harper
: Today during the TAS A.D. Barnes bird walk led by Gigi Pardo, I caught a short glimpse of a Myiarchus type flycatcher just south of the fountain and east of the chickee. Felipe Guajardo originally found the bird and called me over, and I only saw the back of the bird. It was much smaller than a Great-crested, and less contrasting, bold color on the wing. That is pretty much all I saw in the brief time I got to see it, and it flew off towards the Chickee. An Acadian Flyactcher was also in the area, in fact while Felipe and I watched it, the rest of the group was on the Acadian. There was a bit of confusion to whether the bird was a La Sagra's or Acadian, but there were obviously two birds, and only a couple of us saw both of them.

: Since Gigi Pardo plans to post the trip report, I will only post that I went back to Homeless Hammock and then back to the chickee area to refind the flyactcher. At Homeless Hammock, I found a beautiful male Rose-breasted Grosbeak (someone else saw the bird briefly; sorry, I didn't catch your name), Summer Tanager, a couple Black-throated Blues, Cape May Warbler, at least five Worm-eating, and a Swainson's Warbler.

: We actually had a good morning of birding and a great group of birders including some out of towners and new birders.
We had 13 sp of warblers:parula, prairie, B/W,BT Blues, swainson's (several) oven bird, palm, yellow rumped, redstart,common yellow throat, wilson and blackpoll. We had a glorious loot ata male scralet tanager, a couple of vireos red eye and blue headed, two yellow billed cuckoos a house wren and a coopers hawk plus the usual stuff. Thanks everyone, you were a great bunch.
Gigi
