Hammond's Flycatcher (Empidonax hammondii) (1) - Reported Feb 07, 2021 14:33 by Aaron Kreisberg - Arroyo Burro Creek, Santa Barbara, California - Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&<q...>,-119.7503543&<ll...>,-119.7503543 - Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S80739459 - Comments: "Seen in oaks just downstream from concrete weir on housing side of path. Flying and perching in oak tree. Empidonax flycatcher with two white wing bars, partial white eye rings, and small crest. Drab greenish olive overall.
Continuing bird, not distinguishable from me from the dusky flycatcher seen at Bella Vista Open Space this winter also. Primaries did seem longish but not an identification I have much experience."
