Dean et al, Over here in the western end of the state, I haven't noticed a drop in numbers of either of our common small forest flycatchers, though it took them a little longer than normal to get here. Seems like anytime I'm in good habitat I'm in earshot of at least one Pewee and Acadian. Hopefully things will improve over on your end of the state. On another note, I had my 1st Least Flycatcher of the year in Henry Co this morning; still waiting on a Yellow-bellied though. Good Birding!!
