I thought I would let birders know that the not often reported (here) Acadian Flycatchers have returned to Fillmore Glen State Park (Cayuga County) and are abundant along the Gorge Trail. The Gorge Trail is only open to Bridge 5 due to repair work beyond. Despite this, there were at least seven different singing/calling individuals while on a picnic and hike there yesterday with my family and a visiting guest from Switzerland, Gilberto Pasinelli. The most cooperative bird was calling (unprovoked) from the south side of Bridge 4.
Also quite cooperative were at least four Louisiana Waterthrushes, one of which was carrying food for young. Here is our eBird checklist, with audio recordings: https://ebird.org/checklist/S139778045 Sincerely, Chris T-H -- Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes — Field Applications Engineer K.
