    Love the pic of the Black Phoebe, and I agree that the other flycatcher is most likely a Pacific Slope Flycatcher, but a tough id!

    Female and immature Anna's can show small amounts of red on the throat. Female/immature rufuous would show at least some rufous (reddish) in the tail feathers).

    I have been pretty lazy about birding since I've been either a) playing a lot of music or b) riding my bike a lot, but I do enjoy seeing and hearing birds when I ride or stop and have time to pay attention.

    If you hover over your attachment of the first flycatcher, the photo title says "pacific-slope-flycatcher". So she must have given you the wrong flycatcher picture for a WEKI!

    Cool phoebe photo. You have Say's phoebes in Cali, too. They are really pretty birds. Oh, heck. Most birds are pretty.

    My favorite flycatcher is the olive-sided. He sits in the top of a tree and says "quick THREE beers!" All over the west. Listen for him in the woods.

    Nope. That is the Pacific Slope Flycatcher. I think the order of attachments relative to text just got a bit scrambled when I sent the email to Trek all of 10 feet across the room (of course, the email when all the way to Norway and back). Anyhoo ... The kingbird (also a flycatcher) is this one:

    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
