I soon saw an Acadian Flycatcher that flew to a branch about 20 feet from my head. I had been standing still so I thought it might not be aware of me. I studied it for a little while and then it flew to a branch a bit farther away, I studied it again. After I put down my binoculars it moved a very short distance to a nest where it proceeded to settle in. It acted like it was incubating eggs, but the nest did not look as big as nests I have seen in the past so maybe it was still in the building stage.
