I visited Cromwell Valley Park in late afternoon, after getting directions from Kevin Graff re the Yellow-bellied Flycatcher seen on Saturday. To my surprise and delight, I was able to re-find this bird. It was further downstream than on Saturday, in a swampy area near the spring. The whole vicinity was loaded with flycatchers: Peewee 12+, Empid sp. 3, Great-crested 1, plus the Yellow-bellied.
Also seen were Blue Grosbeak (young male), Chestnut-Sided Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, White-Eyed and Red-Eyed Vireo, Red-Tailed and Red-Shouldered Hawk.
