Nature Done Wright

   Rob sez: "Thursday morning a frequently singing ACADIAN FLYCATCHER was hanging
around the Brotherton Bridge area. It was moving around a lot and was
on both sides of the bridge–but it's loud pit-SEE call enabled me to
track it down several times for some decent looks.

   "This is only the 2nd
(or possibly 3rd?) record for the CF–the first back on 6/19/06 found
by Fred Weber–showing that this notoriously late migrant can pop up
well into June.

    "The other highlight was a sharp-looking
WHITE-THROATED SPARROW at Greenway. No migrant warblers heard or seen
today…"
