MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Steve, The habitat makes it most likely an Acadian Flycatcher. Willow Flycatcher is not a forest bird and Acadian is.

I found two different descriptions for willows in different field guides. The bird had quite distinctive, but ragged, WHITISH wingbars, an epidonax crest and its back was quite uniformally brownish-gray with slight greenish tint. It did not sing and was busy "flycatching" I was in an upland woods but in a small sunny clearing and it perched in the full sun so I got good looks at color. No yellowish tinge that I could see. > ======================================================================= > To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com > with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey > ======================================================================= ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
