This morning I took a half hour walk in the Glen Artney area of PVSP, from Gun Road to Lost Lake (where the White Ibis was last summer). The only standout migrant was a heard-only ACADIAN FLYCATCHER in the wet woods between the river and the pond. If it were 2 weeks later I'd say it was a slam-dunk ID, but the Yellow Book shows the early arrival date of 4/19, so I'll reserve judgement. There was a singing Phoebe nearby, but it wasn't that -- it was a distinct PEET-SEET!. The bird soon stopped calling, and I wasn't dressed to go bushwacking anyway.

Other birds were 1 drake WOOD DUCK, 1 adult BALD EAGLE flyover, GNATCATCHERS everywhere, 2 N PARULA, 1 PALM WARBLER (eastern) and 1 L WATERTHRUSH.
