Last week-end, on Sunday, I wanted to take a walk in the late afternoon, so I too decided to explore Palmer woods. I was on the eastern side of the woods, I don't know particular names for the Palmer woods, in the larches there was an empid feeding actively. It kept calling "whit whit" as it foraged and shaking its tail fairly constantly. I got a good look at it and concluded that it was first year Yellow-bellied Flycatcher. I have watched adults shake their tail. I was planning on posting it but kept forgetting. Otherwise woods were very quiet except for the noisy Blue Jays.

It was in shrubs along Pleasant Grove Brook near a patch of Phragmites toward the west side of the open area among all the snags. --Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME> Rules and Information<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES> Subscribe, Configuration and Leave<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm> Archives: The Mail Archive<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html> Surfbirds<http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds> BirdingOnThe.Net<http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html> Please submit your observations to eBird<http://ebird.org/content/ebird/>! -- -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
