Subject:          Lost Nation - Cerulean Warbler/6 Flycatcher species

If you missed Cerulean Warbler so far this migration, I found one
signing away at Lost Nation SGA in Hillsdale County.  During an
unsuccessful attempt to find previously report Kentucy Warbler I found
a new (to me) path in the SGA.  In Pittsford, take Pittsford Rd. south
2 miles to Skuse Rd and turn right.  The pavement ends after a little
while.  Both sides of the road are swampy with thick brush.  There was
a Willow Flycatcher in a dead snag.  Fairly easy to find - drive slow
and listen for distinctive "Fitz-bew" call.  After a short ways there
is a small parking area on the left with a path leading in.  The area
is wooded but somewhat open around the path.  Someone has been doing
some cutting.  About two hundred yards in there were two Acadian
Flycatchers.  Both were active and calling.  After another hundred
yards or so the path seems to end but there is just a bunch of brush
and the path picks up again.  The Cerulean Warbler was in this area
singing non-stop, going from tree to tree.  Also in the woods was Least
and Great-crested Flycatcher, Eastern Pewee, Eastern Phoebe.  Scarlet
Tanager (heard).
