[va-bird] Alder Flycatcher

While birding at Whitetop Station (elevation 3713 ft.)on the Virginia
Creeper Trail off Highway 58 east of Grayson Highlands State Park this
morning (June 14), I found 3 different locations of Alder (fee-bee-o)
Flycatchers.  At the Whitetop Station lower, paved parking lot, walking down
the Creeper trail around the pond, I saw and heard at least 3 seperate
birds.  Leaving Whitetop Station going NE on county road 755, 1/2 mile
beyond the intersection at Whitetop Station I had at least 2 singing birds
at a beaver pond & lodge on the left.  Continuing on 755 another 1/2 mile I
had another singing bird.  Other birds in the area: Cedar Waxwing, Common
Yellowthroat, Chestnut-sided & Yellow Warblers, Scarlet Tanager, Least
(che-bek) Flycatcher and Veery.  On my drive back to Galax, I picked up the
Acadian & Willow Flycatcher, 4 of the 5 Eastern Empidonax Flycatchers in the
same morning is not all that bad.
