Re: [cobirds] Fwd: [WYOBIRDS] Fork-tailed Flycatcher

How can you assume this is the same bird? That seems like a pretty crazy assumption given distances between observation locations! Obviously, this is a rare bird this far north (for either state) but I think it would be nuts for the same bird to be found given the total amount of area and number of birders in the total amount of area. I may be way off here but just pointing out that we birders don't really cover a high percentage of the total landscape.

I chased this bird this evening and didn't find it. I live only about 15 miles from observation so had to try! Also, I just spoke with person who found bird and it was last seen at 5:30 pm today.

Looks like the Fort Collins area Fork-tailed Flycatcher has appeared near Casper, Wyoming.  This almost certainly the same bird I would think.

I just saw a Fork-tailed Flycatcher in my fields SW of Casper. Zack has excellent photos and will post them to EBIRD. The flycatcher is at the very end of Shinn Rd, which is the road that heads east from 12 mile at the old tree farm. The road heads due south about a mile east of 12 Mile. He spent time on various posts and fence wires right around the cattle guard just north of the huge brick house, and right where it says No Trespassing. Any birder is welcome on Eagle Ridge Ranch land, and from that corner you can see most of the spots where the bird was seen. I am working near that area for the rest of the week, so I will know if he stays around. My phone number is 262-0055.
