All - I went to the BRP this morning to see what was around. It was
foggy/rainy/sunny and there were very few people up there. Of note, I found a
Least Flycatcher singing away - if you call the che-bek call a song. I watched
him for about 15 minutes but wasn't able to get any photos of him. The Least
Flycatcher was near mile post 38. A little farther north on the Pway I came
across two Scarlet Tanagers having a territorial dispute right along the road.
They flew and sang and flew and sang. Even though the lighting wasn't great
for photos, I was able to get a few good shots. At the same location there was
a Black-throated Blue Warbler singing away, as well.
I've up-loaded a few photos to Flickr, if you're interested
