Dan Wright F.P. -Great Crested Flycatcher City Tuesday 5-26-26

[Al Stokie]

Hello Bird People,

I wanted to look for Barred Owl, Acadian Flycatcher & White Eyed Vireo
all of which would be new for my year list & all have been seen here
recently. Thanks to the birders from Red Hill Birding I knew where to
look for the Acadian Flycatcher & did eventually see & hear one. But
no luck with the Owl & the Vireo so I'll have to look again or look
elsewhere.
