Hi Nancy;
  When I say the same place as usual, it's heartening to see that this 
is the same area I've recorded them since well before the breeding bird 
survey began a few years ago. It's an isolated area I go only once or 
twice a year when the Speckled Trout sea-run is on.  I seldom encounter 
anybody else.  This was cut probably 25 years ago, and although it was 
selective cutting for large board trees, the harvesters made a mess of 
the brook.  Then the beavers re-routed it , and it has slowly come back. 
The dead snags and alders have always been there, making it almost 
impenetrable to most people, so it's a great place for flycatcher 
species of every kind.
Billy
