Hi All,
there has been no sign yet (as of 10am) of the Fork-tailed
Flycatcher despite about 10 people looking for it. We will keep looking and
hopefully
it will reappear as the wind is starting to drop a bit.
Plenty of other migrants around- Kinglets, Myrtle warblers, Palm Warblers, at
least 3 Orange-crowned Warblers, Junco's and White-throated Sparrows.
