Friend and fellow-Wildewood birder, Beth Price reports:
"Bird-nerd delight! I just found out that my October sighting of this Yellow-bellied Flycatcher has been confirmed by an eBird reviewer. (Highly skilled birders personally review all reported rarities.)
Which got me wondering about how rare a bird it actually is here. After looking at eBird data, I learned that mine is the only confirmed observation of the species in Manatee county this year, and one of only five ever reported here."

Here is the range map of where sightings of Yellow-bellied Flycatchers are expected. (Beth shared this map, also.)
