I was an Airman, not a soldier, but I still found the place delightful
today. We got very good looks at three different male SUMMER TANAGERS and
one female. At what point can we start calling them abundant?
    Here's a question for the experts. We watched two different ACADIAN
FLYCATCHERS. They would sing from a perch and then move to another while
doing a fluttery display that appeared to be some sort of mating thing.
However, when they were fluttering their wings we heard a chittery sort of
sound that could remind you a bit of a woodcock. Is that sound made by their
wings? We only heard it when they were fluttering, so my suspicion is that
this is a wing noise we are hearing.
