Rare Flycathers

Hi birders all,
Talking of rare flycatchers, not in Idaho this time, Amy Bechtel & I returned from a road trip to Chicago & Pittsburgh earlier this week, whilst there at the Indian Dunes National Park Great Marsh Trail, near Beverly Shores, we & several other birders were treated to very cooperative views of an adult Fork-tailed Flycatcher, a first ever record for the southern lakeshore area. This bird does not ordinarily breed anywhere in the lower 48, its stronghold in S America.

Re: Vermilion Flycatcher?

Here are the coordinates for where the bird is being seen.

45°12’7.53″N
113°53’53.09″W

It didn’t stay anywhere long today and could be difficult to find for a while. If you go and don’t see it give it at least an hour. It spent time in all corners of the farm as well as behind the pasture to the north. When it changed locations it typically flew high and flicked its tail in flight. Pretty easy to pick out. Good luck.
