Jean, Fork-tailed Flycatchers seldom remain more than a day or two in the place they are found. What they do is anybody's guess - probably continue their "over-shoot" until the harsh winter climate takes them out. But maybe they reorient southward to their intended destination. It's nice to think that anyway. jca John C.

There were plenty of Raptors however.
