If the area north of Prince Lake #2 by the two oil tanks is closed today, I would try viewing from 111th along the short segment that runs east/west just south of the lake.  Several of the FT Flycatcher's favored perches, including the dead branches of the Russian olive tree by the hay bales and the top of the corral, are visible from here between the two large cottonwoods. Yesterday afternoon I  stood just east of where 111th begins the nearly 90 degree turn south and was able to see the flycatcher while scanning the lake for shorebirds.  It's quite a bit more distant than the oil tank site, but still close enough for an enjoyable diagnostic view, especially with a scope.  Good luck to all who try for the bird today.

I suggest starting off at Carbonate Lane, as the "oil tank" area or anywhere

near there, has become unavailable to the public. It's possible one could see taht bird

close to the oil tanks FROM the Carbonate Lane site.

The Fork-tailed is still present north of Prince Lake at 4:40. It's returning to a small bare Russian Olive tree just east of piled hay bales west of oil tanks, about 100 yards north of the lake. Parking is available on the shoulder of 111th by Prince Lake. Currently, you can walk along a dirt construction path to the tanks from 111th.

Note that we just heard from the police that they might not allow entrance to the storage tank area tomorrow due to construction.

Hi all-

I am going to try for the Fork-tailed Flycatcher at Prince Lake 2 tomorrow. Where would I park?

Thanks,
