Don’t think I’ve ever seen a Pacific-Slope Flycatcher. Where should I be looking?

I hear them in Lincoln and Fauntleroy Parks. I was once told, but unsure that it is true that the slope refers to steep terrain. Anyway, try http://www.birdweb.org/birdweb/bird/pacific-slope_flycatcher

Anonyme, look up their song and call (here); once you’re familiar with how they sound, you’ll start noticing them in our parks and greenbelts. They’re tiny and really hard to see – Mark, as usual, has done an amazing job photographing one!
