[mou] Acadian flycatcher

[Jeff Dankert]

Sunday afternoon there was a strong-singing ACADIAN FLYCATCHER at Beaver
Creek Valley SP in Houston County.

I heard it at the start of the Steep Rock Trail, which begins on the
right side of the road that leads back to the group camp. It was singing
PEET-sa about every 15-20 seconds.

I saw one Louisiana waterthrush along the creek there. Could not
relocate cerulean warbler found earlier by Bluff Country Festival
birders on park entrance road.

Other birds Sunday afternoon in Houston Co. included:

Eurasian collared dove on its nest in Caledonia, in the electrical
transformer steel girder at E. Lincoln and N. Pine streets.

Willow flycatcher singing in shrubby marsh along state Highway 16
between Houston and Hokah.

Warblers were insubstantial. I only had eight species Sunday, and six of
them breed here. Bring on a rainstorm!
