[cobirds] Lee Martinez Park-Fort Collins (Larimer)-Not Vermillion Flycatcher

Good evening all!

Ran into a gentleman today at Lee Martinez who swore up and down he had just seen a male Vermillion Flycatcher.  "Flycatching and everything and he flew west!"  He told me this as we were standing right next to the Prothonotary Warbler pond from a few weeks ago.  He was clearly not a birder so I was skeptical, of course.  I walked all the way to McMurray Natural Area and back and did not see a Vermillion Flycatcher.  I did, however, find a John Shenot.  After I told him the story we slowly walked back to Lee Martinez.  Other than expected migrants nothing out of the ordinary was seen.  This is a really long-winded way of saying there is a report on Ebird with a picture of a male Scarlet Tanager that was seen there around the same time we were looking.  I'm guessing this is what the gentleman had seen.  Again, I did not see this bird but thought this would be helpful for non-Ebirders who may want to run to the park before the reports come out.

Thanks,

Josh Bruening
