[Tweeters] Port Townsend Blue Jay - Confirming

[MIRANDA MIKESH]

Greetings,

Today May 4th I had two separate sightings of the "local" Port Townsend Blue Jay:

Rose/L street at 12:30pm and Rose/M street intersection at 1:50pm on my walk back through this area.

As the whereabouts of this Jay has been a question by some fellow birders of late, happy to confirm that our friend is still hanging around amidst Spring migration....

I followed a weird call at my house (Bryant neighborhood) to a calling
flycatcher. I got photos and audio. Merlin called it a Hammonds. I'm not
familiar enough to confirm.

Here's a link to a video with the stills and the audio.

Call sounds like that of a HAFL and unlike other Empidonax flycatchers one
would expect to see or hear in the area. (I do not hear a song.) It
possibly is a migrant, working its way to higher ground for the summer. (We
often see and hear HAFLs in montane habitat in the WA Cascades.)

Vocalizations do sound like Hammonds. And the shape of the eye ring
contributes to the ID.

Looks like the same 6000 Vaux?s Swifts that spent last night in the Monroe Wagner Roost had a two night reservation.

They keep beating our observers to the bricks.

Inside video camera link is our website.

I had several (3+) Hammond's Flycatchers in Seattle parks today.  They are
passing through in migration.
