Olive-sided Flycatcher,Contopus borealis.
April 29 to June 3 and August 12 to September 18. Fairly common transient in small numbers.
This flycatcher can usually be found perched on the upper limbs of dead trees in forest
openings or in forest edge habitat. Most reports involve single birds, occasionally as many as 2 or 3.
Yellow-bellied Flycatcher,Empidonax flaviventris.
Status unclear, but apparently a rare transient. Smith (1915) stated that he found it regularly
at Winslow one year from May 16 to May 22 and September 1-23. Black (1935) stated he found it on
May 15 and October 23 only. Baerg (1951) published a May 29 report at Rogers. A single bird
giving the correct vocalization was observed at Big Music Cove on Bull Shoals Lake in Marion
County on August 30, 1975. In 1986 and 1987, there were at least three records between May 15 - 28,
and one on Aug 31.
