There must have been a good migration of Willow Flycatchers last night as the Holiday Beach Migration Observatory has banded 5 of them this morning at Hillman Marsh. The only flycatcher song in the area of the nets is that of Willow FC and we were able to ID 3 of the 5 birds by morphology.

Hillman Marsh is located on Oak Street East approximately 8 kilometres east of Erie Street (Heinz Plant intersection) in Leamington.
