There was a WILLOW FLYCATCHER at Bear Creek Lake State Park in Cumberland
County this morning. It was distinguished from the much more common Acadian
Flycatcher by its almost Wood Thrush-like "wit" call and lack of eye-ring.
This species is not recorded in Dalmas et al's Checklist of Virginia's
South-Central Piedmont.
The other highlight of the trip was a BLACK BEAR, seen at the edge of Trents
Mill Road about 1/4 mile south from the park entrance. Not only was it my
first Black Bear sighting for the county, it was my first state and US sighting!
