That Flycatcher

[Ernest Snavely <snavely4@sccoast.net>]

Ok on the big question mark.  I know is was not an Eastern Phoebe, and not 
an Eastern Kingbird.  I wasn't thinking birds at all when I saw it, and 
then for only about 4 seconds, but it startled me and I thought to report 
it. I remember it did not have much of a crest, the breast was yellowish. I 
thought it smaller that the Great Crested.
	Lois and I did not get the mail read in time to go back out there today, 
about 15 miles, and it's clouding up, but we will surely go tomorrow.
	For those who asked how to get to the field, go NW on highway 9 past Green 
Sea and on past the big school where the road widens.  There is a 
convenience store across from the school called Sugar Bears. Go on past the 
school about 0.6 mile to the Mt Olive Cross Roads, there is a street sign, 
and turn right or approximately north.  Go about two miles until you see a 
sign "EAA, Chapter 11.." That is the driveway and there will be a cable 
across the entrance but the owners will not mind if you walk in 
birding.  If the cable is down drive down the road about 200 yards.  There 
will be trees on the left and a shelter and small mower shed on the right 
about 50 yards off the road. That is where the bird was.
	There were two children among the group so after I flew my plane and saw 
the bird I took the children to the fields with binoculars and watched the 
birds of the field.  They stopped being bored right away and had a lot of 
fun while their dad was flying.
