Hello all,

On the Bobwhite Trail htis morning I swa two Black-billed Cuckoos.  One had been calling, and when it flew from its tree it was joined in flight by another.  I also saw several Magnolia Warblers, a Redstart, and good looks at atleast one Wilson's Warbler.  Along the marsh a quiet flycatcher was actively working the phragmites and low bushes.  The head was clearly rounded and the eye ring was prominent only behind the eye.  I did take two photos (archival quality only) and will send for anyone iterested.

By contrast in both habitat & behavior,  a Willow Flycatcher was singing from the tallest trees in the field 200 yards away, and an Acadian Flycatcher was working the trees in the woods off the Bobwhite trail about 150 yards in the opposite direction, both birds seen within a few minutes of the mystery bird.  This was also the site of the Alder Flycatcher, heard first by Tom Feild and Leo Weigant last Sunday morning.
