Dusky Flycatcher

This spring for about 3 weeks a plain little bird took up residence on one of the phone wires just above the office.  This determined little fellow called all day, perhaps he was looking for a mate.

I am a great fan of birds but this guy had one song and he never took a break.  With him so close to the office, I got to hear him sing it all day.  I tried to take pictures but he would fly away the moment I took out a camera so  I wondered how I would ever identify him.

Today I spotted a gray bird with a yellow chest sitting on a wire above a nut tree.  I've learned to take my camera everywhere so I snapped a few photos.  I don't have a telephoto lens so I couldn't get a very good pic but while I was looking him up on the Internet, I found a site with bird songs.    I figured he was a flycatcher of some sort so I started going through the whole list.

While looking through the bird pictures and listening to the songs, I stopped to listen to one called a Say's Phoebe and there was my annoying little song bird from work.  If you click on the link and then on the arrow that says LISTEN   http://www.seattleaudubon.org/birdweb/bird_details.aspx?id=291 you can hear what I had to listen to some days for the whole shift.

These are the pictures I was able to capture, the closest I was able to come was a Dusky Flycatcher as it had quite a yellow body.  If any of you know for sure I'd love to hear from you as I've never seen one before.
