Later that day, daughter was sitting on the sofa and saw something different land in the maple tree out back. Upon closer look, it was a great crested flycatcher.
Also made a couple trips to Breuckner Rhododendron Gardens on the way to work. Seems like being along the lake with a mix of pines a fruit trees, there are lots of birds there.
One morning, there were a couple loud singing warblers, Merlin had identified as pine warblers. Probably not coincidentally, they were in the pine trees. This one came out of the pine trees to eat from a spider web.
