I was very surprised to find the Flycatchers and was wracking my memory trying to figure out what they might be while looking at them. It was a rather cautious 'they couldn't be some kind of flycatcher could they?' wondering at the time, they looked like the body form I could remember. They didn't look pied so the spotted flycatcher was more likely, although they didn't look terribly spotty and I was hadn't really looked at them in the field guides (not a bird I expected to see or had paid much attention to!) so it was only when I did some good hard looking when I got home that I could be more certain.Fortunately I didn't have any hitchhikers when I got home Kathy, I think that after the crashing through the woods I was quite successful in guiding off the spiders, and a couple of wood ants too! I think the jump I got from the woodpecker probably shook some off too! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
