I agree with Wayne. The starlings at Darrel Faxon’s place were imitating the
Great Crested Flycatcher after only two days.
They are also weirdly attuned to migration - in April, a little early, you will
hear them suddenly start doing pewees, which they generally don’t do in Feb and
March when they are pretty noisy. This leads to early reports of pewee.

Hi -
Whenever I hear out-ofpseason birds that I cannot see, I suspect Starlings.

I didn't know whether to note on ebird that i heard a possible olive sided
Flycatcher, or is there something else that makes that sound?
Thanks.

Two days ago one of our Audubon members saw and photographed a Tropical
Kingfisher on Three Rocks rd just before Savage Rd heading west.
Went there to try to locate it today. No luck but did see two Red- breasted
Sapsuckers while walking the road. Also, heard a distinct "fitz-bee-hew".
Heard it 3 times while i searched in vain. Never saw it.
