A bird that appeared to be the flycatcher initially showed up on a tree in the parking lot, and shortly after, those of us present were able to get definitive looks on the flycatcher as it perched up on the tops of several conifers at roughly 37°25'13.9"N 122°04'21.8"W. For those who chase tomorrow, please note that the parking lots in the area are private property and inaccessible - please view and search for the bird from the street sidewalks and from the trails around the marsh. For additional details about the area (including parking details) see the SCVBA page here (https://scvbirdalliance.org/self-guided-birding/charleston-road-marsh). Good luck to those who search tomorrow, congrats to Eve Meier and Patricia Lynch on this find and Garrett Lau on the refind, and thanks to all who reported this and provided details!
