I spent the morning walking around Lindsay-Parsons. Like Geo, I did not find any Acadian Flycatcher off Station Rd. However I did find a Worm-eating Warbler low enough on the steep eastern slope of the preserve that a person with good hearing (better than mine) might hear it from the blue trail. The yellow trail along the north border is under water due to a beaver pond. Good luck to Mark & friends on the bird quest. I hope all these species and more will cooperate.

Protocol: Traveling
3.0 mile(s)
Comments: Hiked in from Station Rd on old logging road above last driveway, went upstream to end of stream, then south near border of state forest and preserve, then diagonally down slope joining blue trail near south border, crossed railroad and stayed on blue trail to between ponds, backtracked and took red trail to yellow trail to orange trail then out along railroad and back up Station Rd. Successful search for Worm-eating, Hooded & Black-and-white Warblers; no luck with Acadian Flycatcher nor cuckoos.
