Greetings! A most beautiful bird! Nov-10-19, I had the extreme good fortune to find this bird down on the boulders of a pristine mountain river near Darjeeling. My friend and I actually went for a swim moments before seeing him downstream. We hiked down the hillside from an orange/ avocado "Busti", owned by our host's family.
The same hike, we found a Gray-headed Canary flycatcher, and some brightly colored Orioles.
I live in Springfield Oregon, our beautiful state currently ravaged by fires!
Thank you for this wonderful blog!
