An Olive-sided Flycatcher was near Orono (east of Oshawa) tonight. I observed the bird from 7:00pm - 8:15pm. The bird was perched at the top of a tall dead tree. The "dark vest" was clearly visible and so were the "white tufts" on the sides of the rump.

Directions:

From 401- take exit 436 onto Hwy 35/115. Go north towards Orono.

Exit - Main St. Orono. The ramp curves to the right. Turn right at the yield sign and cross the bridge that goes over Hwy 35/115.
Turn right at the stop sign onto Main St.
Head north into Orono
Turn left onto Station St.- follow Station St. west until you reach Ochonski Rd. The bird was right at the corner of Station St. and Ochonski Rd. It was on the south side perched on top of a dead tree. There are a few dead trees on this corner.
