twitchy Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Number one was sighted on May 1st at 9:04 am. Number two was sighted today (May 9th) at 2:30 pm. Both were sighted at the edge of a cedar forest on the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario, Canada. I initially thought both were Eastern Phoebes, but now I am having doubts because of possible wing bars and eye rings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twitchy Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Does anyone think number 2 could be a great crested flycatcher? We confirmed one here the other day by its song and it sure looks like bird number 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akandula Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I agree, both are Eastern Phoebes. Great Crested Flycatchers would have a more elongated structure and yellower bellies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneat Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Image two is definitely an Eastern Phoebe. A Great Crested Flycatcher would be larger, and significantly taller and more upright. The dark grey on this Eastern Phoebe is very distinct from the brown color on a Great Crested Flycatcher as well. @akiley sums it up well. On 5/9/2020 at 5:05 PM, akiley said: Yup.
