An Olive-sided Flycatcher graced my yard today and stayed for about 10 minutes before continuing north. It was interesting to see this northern species still enroute to it breeding grounds, while other species are well into the breeding cycle already – for example, Chipping Sparrows mated, a Rose-breasted Grosbeak sang its territorial song, American Robins carried food and a Ruby-throated Hummingbird did its pendulum-like courtship flight.
