April 25, 2013 Gone, But Not Forgotten

I could see the Flycatcher chicks, big and fat, poised on the top of their nest as I went out the door to put my bag in the car.  Behind my back, they flew off and the nest was empty only moments later when I returned.

The gray Flycatcher, a native of Mexico, first came to the U.S. in the 20th century.

The SC naturalist, Rudy Mancke, noted them in Laurens County in 1982.
