Lake Aquitaine. I can't say 100% for sure it was an Alder Flycatcher that I sighted. It seems to match my field guides and photos in Google Images. I'm also going on gut instinct/woman's intuition with this one. :) I looked up Willow Flycatcher as well and it wasn't this one. Wasn't a Goldfinch or Warbler or Junco. A camera would help!
