| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation letter by Curtis L. Rector is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include his parents and nephew. | Elimination of similar species: [...] But I could see right away that it wasn't a cardinal, as it lacked a crest, and it had dark feathers. [...] At this point, I thought it could be a Scarlet Tanager. [...] As I watched it, the bird was taking off from the grass, flying into the air to snatch an insect, then landing on a nearby fence. From this, I could tell it had to be a species of Flycatcher. | The original documentation form event lasted from 14:00:00/14:10:00. |

| Event Remarks |
Viewing Conditions: [...] We were standing about 50 feet from the bird, which didn't seem to mind our presence and continued on with its activity. [...] Time to get the binoculars, which the pair I have is a Bushnell Ensign Insta-Focus 7 x 35, a birthday gift from many years ago. [...] It was sunny that day, with a cool breeze. |
