It was on the west side of the creek, just south of the McCarthy Road bridge, next to the waterbird pond. It perched on the branches of a small dead tree here, and occasionally sallied forth to catch bees and butterflies. I got scope-filling views from about 30 feet away for a half hour. This is a juvenile bird based on the evenly tapered outer primary (which would be emarginated in adults) and the worn tapered right side tail feathers. The left side rectrices are shorter and fresh, being truncate, as would be expected for newly growing adult feathers. This gives the tail an asymmetrical look, most noticeable when the bird is perched. Mike Mammoser _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
