On Thursday I spotted at least 3 and maybe 4 Olive-sided Flycatchers southwest of Salida at about 8,000 feet elevation.  In addition to having so many of this solitary species in one small area more than 1 one of birds would perch on branches near each other.  Though late in the day I got photos of likely at least two of them that I have uploaded to my Birds and Nature blog.  along with a description of the habitat.  Also in that location was a family group of Western Tanagers including at least one fledgling that I observed being fed plus a Western Wood-pewee.

One the way back through the tiny town of Coaldale I spotted 2 male Williamson Sapsuckers on a utility pole.  By then it was getting too late for acceptable photos.
