This is a two part video - Part 1 is the search for an Acadian Flycatcher (unusual in my area), and then in Part 2 I update my channel list by showing some interesting video clips posted earlier on my channel, such as Barnacle Goose, Tropical Flycatcher, Chukar, and more.

Awesome video of the Acadian Flycatcher! Your videos this year motivated my wife to try to take decent photos (not videos, yet) of birds in our county in the western part of Virginia. She is only at 42 species so far out of around 100 seen/heard. The Acadian Flycatchers aren't uncommon our woods - calling an flitting in the upper branches this time of year. Its just really challenging to get a decent photo (let alone a video). Also, your Least Bittern is pretty cool too. Thanks for posting your videos.

Hey thanks for the great comment! It’s funny, I happened to be in Missouri last week for a conference and I heard several Acadians so clearly they are not as unusual as I thought. Best of luck to your wife with the photography. If she isn’t using eBird already that is a great way to link photos to specific sightings for future reference.

Yes, I was thinking it would be a difficult search but then I heard it right away - a great feeling!

Thanks! I’m subscribed to your channel and really enjoy your enthusiasm for birds. By the way, the Chukar sighting was from Antelope island where you have posted videos - such a cool place.

@@JT_Birder Antelope Island is an amazing place! So happy you were able to visit while you were here! Awesome footage of the bird as well.

Awesome footage of the Acadian Flycathcer! I am searching for my own flycatcher currently in my neighborhood in Kansas City, MO. I keep hearing a Great Crested Flycatcher in my backyard. I haven't seen him yet, but I hope to soon! I also don't know if it could be a Mockingbird imitating a flycatcher, as I'm not sure if there is a way to tell based on sound alone. I'm keeping my eyes and ears peeled either way!

Thanks! Do you have the Merlin app for sound identification? Great Crested Flycatcher has a very distinctive call, the app should be able to confirm it.

@@JT_Birder I do, yes. That's how I initially thought it may be a Great Crested Flycatcher, due to a Merlin suggestion based on sound ID. The only reason I mentioned the Mockingbird possibility is because a co-worker of mine (who has been birding far longer than I have) said he thought it might be possible. Funnily enough, I just used Merlin to ID it for a fourth time because I heard that very distinct call you mentioned yet again while outside in my yard watching the other birds in my backyard. I still haven't actually SEEN Mr. GCF, but I hope I'll get the chance soon! Thanks for the reply and helpful info!
