Acadian Flycatchers are fairly common in Calvert and St. Mary's counties in the right habitat. In St. Mary's River State Park, Calvert Cliffs State Park and even at Patterson Park, they are easy. But, the amount of habitat destruction is deplorable and continuing unabated, especially for such rural counties.

Good Birding!

I have just looked at the Audubon Society's watchlist for Maryland-
http://www.audubon.org/bird/watch/state2/md.html 
and noticed that the Acadian Flycatcher is listed as a high priority species of concern in the Maryland piedmont.  This is contrary to my experience at McKee-Beshers in Montgomery county where they are common.  They were the ninth most common species on my breeding surveys this year.  I recorded them on 9 of my 10 routes and last Sunday 4 July heard 10 of them.  

I was wondering what other people think?
