--Apple-Mail-327-583385554 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Hu everyone: I spent over four hours atlassing the the Vaughan square (On Highway 14 south of Windsor). I even managed some nice views of a new life bird for me, an olive-sided flycatcher! The Stokes is right. It does sound like "Quick! Three beers." I came across a second one later in the day. I also almost stepped on, a female ruffed grouse and her brood. The little ones scattered and she lured me away. I was wondering the other day how people managed to get FY from birds like that! LOL This square had 52 species in the first atlas and I'm up to 47 so far. Still not a single duck, or a wood-peewee. I haven't heard a peewee so far this summer... and that is quite unusual for me. I have been in the right type of woods on quite a few occasions.... I did have one bird which may be a least flycatcher. I had seen one (that was quite cooperative) in one area a week ago and was hoping to bump it up to on territory. This is semi-mature softwood with a brook running through it. A lot of birch and the occasional tall softwood. There was a bird about the right size in the same area, but it was agitated, and would only make "chirp" calls. It also refused to sit still. There was another, larger bird, doing the same thing but I could not see what it was. It did sit still long enough for me to get two quick pictures. I have put them into a single image at: http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/Least.jpg The only reason I'm not 100% sure it is a least, is that when I did catch it in binos, the overall appearance that I got was more of a brown than a gray, but they pictures seen to look like a least, at least to me. As usual, any help is greatly appreciated.
