They were too far away for a good 10xbino look but I thought the underside may have had a brown-yellow type hue although it could have been the lighting. Didn't know waxwings did "flycatching" so I had ruled them out.

They were flycatching and returning to their perch frequently so it was hard to tell exactly how many there were. Size and behaviour (hunting from a prominent perch in a clearing) plus the upright flycatcher stance and sloped head profile suggested Olive Sided Flycatchers to me, possible immature. I did notice a white patch flash on one plus a relatively short squared off tail. Here is a hazy photo if it is any help: https://www.flickr.com/photos/150605880@N07/36588939043/in/dateposted-public/ <br/> <br/> I have a friend keeping track of these birds as a species at risk so would like to report them if others feel I have the right ID. <br/> <br/> Nancy <br/> E Dalhousie, Kings Co. </blockquote> </div> </div> </div> </blockquote> </blockquote> <div> <br/>  </div> </body></html>
