This morning while birding with Sean Carroll, I spotted a Fork-tailed

This from one of the finders:
"I was on the top walking/biking trail, on the eastern side of the road
that divides the two sides. It was happily feeding at about the halfway
point of that side. It was still there yesterday when I left about 5:00 "

Sorry, sorry, sorry.
The reputed FTFL was an erroneous entry.
So far as I know, there is no Fork-tailed Flycatcher in Slingerlands, New
York.
The eBird entry was meant to be Scissor-tailed Flycatcher (which is real).
My bad.

On Wed I was lucky enough to get a short video of a Mockingbird chasing the
Fork-tailed Flycatcher off perch.
Thanks to all who posted notes about the continuing presence of this
bird. It is a beautiful bird, and lots of fun to watch as it foraged in
the grass, and dodged attacks by the Mocker!

I went again today and stayed several hours (between 11:30am and 4:00pm) at the
sanctuary. The bird was mostly in the southwestern area of the sanctuary,
moving between several trees back and forth while feeding (catching flying
insects). I never saw it in the feeders’ area, where it used to be

It is out of state, but the previously reported Fork-tailed Flycatcher in
Cove Island Park, Stamford, CT continued to thrill many birders today with
excellent views. The minimal restrictions placed on where birders could
view from actually provided an undisturbed, easily viewable area for the

Oddly, this hasn't made it onto the NYSBIRDS list yet, but yesterday a very
handsome FORK-TAILED FLYCATCHER was found (I believe by Tina Green) at the
Cove island Sanctuary in Stamford, Connecticut. It was still being seen as
of 2:35 this afternoon. For directions and updates please visit the CT
