I don't recall there ever being more than a pair in the Cayuta Gulf, but
back in the early 90s there were 2-3 pairs in the Hendershot Gulf, a bit
further down to the southeast. Outside of those territories, I recall only
2 other sites at Conn Hill where Acadian was known to nest.

I walked down the Cayuta Outlet gorge this morning, looking for the usual
specialties. Canada Warblers, Hermit Thrushes, Blue-headed Vireos, etcetera.
I didn't find any Winter Wrens, but I feel sure there must be some...
On the way downstream I also found no Acadian Flycatcher, which didn't much
surprise me as I've struck out repeatedly there in recent years, and figured
they had abandoned the Cayuta Gulf.
I turned around at the black locust truss bridge constructed by Cornell
Engineering students (which is about due for rebuilding, I think), and
headed upstream again. Approximately 1,000 meters below the head of the
gorge, I found an ACADIAN FLYCATCHER singing, possibly in response to the
penetration of sunshine, which doesn't really reach the floor of the shady
gorge until 9:00 am.
