Flycatchers and Warblers

I searched for birds in an area where Black-naped Oriole has been appearing repeatedly over the past few days. I couldn't find the Black-naped Oriole itself, but Arctic Warbler, Eastern Crowned Warbler, Dark-sided Flycatcher, and Grey-streaked Flycatcher turned up in good numbers.

Grey-streaked Flycatcher

Grey-streaked Flycatchers moving through in numbers during the Chinese Sparrowhawk season.

Dark-sided Flycatcher

Asian Brown Flycatcher near the summit of the mountain.

Dark-sided Flycatcher

Also Asian Brown Flycatcher. On Ishigakijima almost all of them are Grey-streaked Flycatcher, with Asian Brown and Dark-sided very rarely seen, but this year I've been finding quite a few.

Arctic Warbler

While waiting for Black-naped Oriole, a Lesser Whitethroat appeared.

Eastern Crowned Warbler

Following the Lesser Whitethroat above, an Eastern Crowned Warbler also appeared.

Blue-and-white Flycatcher

Found a female Blue-and-white Flycatcher deep in the bushes. There were about three Blue-and-white Flycatchers in total.

Ishigaki Tit

An Ishigaki Tit also appeared, hunting for prey.
