Observation details
Heard one brief but unmistakable song phrase while listening for crossbills. Song was a raspy, 'ReeeBEER, higher pitched and more emphatic on the second syllable. Not on my radar this early, about a week earlier than the absolute earliest I've come to expect in Franklin County. I tried for a sound recording but didn't hear it again. However, going through my audio clips it appears that I captured the song, albeit faintly, while trying for crossbills about a minute prior to hearing it close. The 'ReeeBEER' song appears in the attached audio clip at about 11/12 secs. Quite surprising to hear vocalizing Alder Flycatcher this early.
