Just about the latest birds coming thru as most migration is done, flycatchers reign. A few samples of such birds were reported today
The main guy is Acadian Flycatcher. A few were reported in Prospect . Best located by its call, an Acadian revealed itself from inside Quaker Cemetery just east of the main gate on Center drive . Then across the drive another Acadian ( or maybe the same ?), a calling bird that was seen and found along the mid slope runners track on northwestern low slope of Lookout Hill. Lastly , an Acadian called the Ravine its temporary home.
A second Empid Yellow bellied Flycatcher happened to be at the second Acadian spot, runners track of northwest slope Lookout hill .
Stragglers and latecomers is all we have ..Me?After a 3 day very productive club NJ overnight, I'm taking a break from birding..😎🥱
