The red-breasted flycatcher still continues its residency at Craighead today. I am posting one of John’s photos in celebration. I hope it stays over the weekend for the enjoyments of other birders, who will inevitably turn up something else good. Even with the wind change there should still be some good birds about and I am surprised that no lapland buntings have been found yet. It is only a matter of time.

A proper photo of the red-breasted flycatcher still at Craighead today (JA). As John Anderson gets gets better he becomes more of a perfectionist and it is only through my posting of my shabby photos that I can tempt him to post photos that he doesn’t consider quite his best. I can imagine John is very critical of this photo, whereas to the rest of us, this is an absolutely fantastic photo.
