The Ash-throated Flycatcher was observed on and off all yesterday and was
found again at about 10:30 this morning by Ted Madeford near the end of
Lighthouse Crst. The bird has favored the pines on the east side of
Lighthouse Crst, and the tree tops within the Old Cut woodlot, but has been
a bit of a ghost. There are also many Great-crested Flycatchers around which
make searching frustrating, but allows for valuable comparisons.

Other migrants at Old Cut this morning include: Olive-sided, Acadian,
Yellow-bellied, and Traill's flycatcher, Magnolia, Mourning, Bay-breasted,
Blackpoll, and Wilson's warbler.

Directions to Old Cut are available here -
