An unusual pattern during fall migration is that Ash-throated Flycatchers, normally found far to the west, show up along the east coast with fairly good regularity in late October and November. This one was found at Kiptopeke State Park by CVWO Hawkwatcher Sage Church on November 2. Initially playing hide-and-seek, it eventually sat in the sun long enough for the Eastern Shore Bird Club's field trip participants to all see it well. Another was found the next day in Virginia Beach and one was found in Hopewell on Nov 5...and...2 were near Charlottesville on Nov 7...then...near Scottsville, Eastern Shore again...and Chesapeake...wow!
