Olive Sided Flycatcher

Sun, Sep 2, 2012 2:10 PM

9:00 this morn - Leadmine Brook swamp - Harwinton:

1 - Olive Sided Flycatcher
3 - Kestrel
1 - Sharp s Hawk
nothing else!

The hawks were all moving through heading due South.

Strange sighting: All the 4 Hawks were followed by Hummingbirds
diving on them as they all went South. One poor Kestrel had 4
hummers at once diving at it!

So the hummingbirds chasing the hawks would be classified in the newly
designated (I presume AOU sanctioned?) family "nothing else"??!!

Sorry, couldn't resist....
