I spent a few hours Sunday morning in the Ford Hill area. I heard an Acadian
Flycatcher singing intermittently from the south side of the creek in the area
where Jay reported one a few weeks ago. I also heard and saw a Yellow-throated
Vireo. I then crossed to the north side of the creek and up to an area that
held among other birds, singing Scarlet Tanager, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Hooded
Warbler, an active family of Baltimore Orioles, and another singing warbler I
recorded but couldn't id. I then went back to the north bank of the creek and
down into it at the spot where I'd heard the Acadian previously thinking the
hike out would be easier in the creek bottom (it wasn't--there's a tricky
ten-foot waterfall to scale). While I was down there two Empidonax flycatchers
flew up and down the creek just over my head. i didn't get great looks, but
they weren't Pewees or Phoebes so I think it's reasonable to conclude they were
Acadians.
