Media notes

Since Cornell gave their opinion in Sept of 2016 that this photo was of an Acadian Fycatcher, my photograph was questioned by a reviewer. Once again I have sought the opinion of those more experienced that me. I was very grateful to Eric Plage for his informed opinion, copied below: "This bird is NOT a Pewee. It lacks the long tail, thin bill, thin body, and has way too much green/yellow coloration. It looks good for an Acadian to me. The characteristics I see that justify this are thick/wide bill (rules out LEFL), slight crest (helps to rule out YBFL and ALFL), green color to back and head (great Acadian characteristic), and impression of a short tail due to the long wing projections extending down the tail (the longest of this group of empids). I hope that helps. Eric Plage Environmental Specialist Tampa Bay Watch ericplage@gmail.com
