Devin Carrinton Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Today in Western New York. I have two different species I’m trying to identify. The first I believe is a Great-Crested Flycatcher, and the second (2 birds in the second photo) I believe are Willow Flycatchers based on the noise they were making (sharp high-pitched “tick!“) Edited July 12, 2020 by Devin Carrinton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 It's really hard to tell from the images, but I might consider Eastern Phoebe or Willow Flycatcher for the first bird- the head shape and structure does not look like a myiarchus flycatcher. The second photo definitely could be Willows, and if the call matches the 'fitz' calls of Willow, then I'd definitely call it that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) 1 Flycatcher sp. 2 I am pretty sure they are Eastern Phoebes. Edited July 12, 2020 by Kevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
