Least flycatchers this evening

[Mousetoescamper]

These birds are passing through on their way to breeding grounds in New England and Canada. I've seen and photographed three today.





I live in the Atlantic Flyway, a major north-south flyway for migratory birds. For the next few weeks I'll be looking for and trying to photograph springtime migratory birds in my backyard in Lancaster, PA, and also west of here along the Susquehanna River.

1. Thanks for sharing your springtime birds. I'm not familiar

with the flycatcher, although I could use some!

2. You're welcome! We were rotten with blue bottle flies outdoors today.

Which is why the birds stopped here.

3. You aren't all that far from me

But it seems like you’re a month ahead of us season-wise! We’re covering up our lilac bushes because of a frost advisory tonight. They haven’t flowered yet but the buds look ready to open in a few weeks.

I will enjoy the birds and the greenery in your posts for the time being.

4. We're under a frost advisory tonight too

The city is a 'heat island' because of the paving and we often don't get frost when just outside of the city it frosts. There was another frost advisory two days ago but my yard was frost-free.

Thanks!
