I saw this beautiful medium size bird with a crest. An ash-throated flycatcher, normally seen in the desert foothills, the coastal areas of California is a little outside of its normal distribution.

We had one here in Maine (Saco, on the Saco River) late last fall and boy did it bring out the Birders - It was the 8th sighting ever in Maine. - Bob Camera, Big Lens, BushHawk & Camo
