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.
