Marianne and Chris's Fork-Tailed Flycatcher continues at Maltby! Some of us enjoyed watching it today (around 11am) hawk and catch insects from a couple differet snags in what Julien calls "the hot corner"—between Lakes 1 & 2<https://scrcog.org/wp-content/uploads/trails/RWA/alt/RecTrails_RWA7_Alt_6-2-16.pdf>.

It's missing one tail feather. So, more of a Spork-Tailed Flycatcher?

As noted, the RWA properties are 1. Fabulous habitats and 2. Permit-only. They are inexpensive and super useful: https://www.rwater.com/about-us/in-the-community/recreation/

Don't forget to close the gates and lock them when you drive in and out.

Thanks to everyone who's been sharing this bird! It seems it's here for the day at least, if not more.

We were fortunate to find a Fork-tailed Flycatcher last evening at Maltby Lakes. It is being seen again this morning in the same area (from the white blaze #1 trail SE of reservoir 2). RWA permit required for entry.
