The ST Flycatcher is hunkered down in a large shrub (maybe a plum, with reddish leaves) on the north side of US287, evading the 50 mph wind gusts. This is across the road from the entrance to Forks Lumber. Other birders showed it to me, so I will hang for a while in case more birders show up. There is a safe pullout on the south side of the road (northbound side).

--FYI this local rarity was originally reported on the Fort Collins Audubon Society facebook page by Daniel Stangeland, a birder visiting from Florida who probably hasn't heard of COBIRDS. Thanks to Daniel and congrats to David Wade, who hopefully won't be the last local to find this gem.John ShenotFort Collins, CO

I was a little pessimistic about finding it because of my late start but was lucky enough to find it. It's about a half mile north of Ted's Place (hwy 287 and 14 or the Poudre canyon turnoff). That's where 287 makes a 90 degree turn to east. It was perched in the dead trees above a farmhouse on the north side of the highway. This all private land but it can be seen from a pull off of the highway there.David Wade
