This morning Gary Kittleson and I saw an adult male VERMILION FLYCATCHER at College Lake. It was actively flycatching at the southern edge of the willow patch along Casserly Creek, roughly in the center of the lake in this area: 36.94652, -121.74604. The best viewing spot to try for this bird is behind the church, but it could also be seen from the cemetery. Either way, the bird is very distant from these two viewing spots, and even with a good scope, it will only appear as a red speck in the bare willows. Earlier in the morning will probably have the best visibility before the heat distortion increases as it warms up.
