Sunday, June 2, In addition to all these good observations, there were a small number of Acadian Flycatchers in Fahnestock SP, Putnam Co., still quite vocal to mid-day, in the areas not far from the Appalachian trail's corridors. Great to know that R.Grouse are at least present, hopefully doing well breeding also. Two of us could've benefited from Charlie's wisdom on finding insects in the park as well as some of the breeding birds!
