Date: 4/28/25 11:40 am From: Yvonne Homeyer <yhomeyer...> Subject: Re: Madison Co, IL - FORK-TAILED FLYCATCHER
The Fork-tailed-Flycatcher was seen in different parts of the fields but
basically remained in the same area. When I left about 12:30, many people
were observing it fairly close to the parking lot, in an uncultivated field
at the edge of a crop field on the left side of the gravel road/path. There
is a stagnant irrigation ditch and a string of tall mounds of dirt.The bird
was in the field beyond the cultivated field. Earlier, the bird was seen
from the grassy trail on the other side of the field.
