We checked out Frost Ravine (Cornell Natural Area on Mt. Pleasant) this morning. There is a short section of steep ravine that looks suitable for Acadian flycatcher, although we didn't hear one today. It is after the trail officially ends, and after crossing the second utility cut. We did hear an interesting bird song; we believe it to be a BLUE-HEADED VIREO that has incorporated the chattery trill of a R.-S. TOWHEE into its normal song. The towhee was singing adjacent.
