Tim Emmerzaal Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 This morning I was privileged to observe this flycatcher feeding its young. I was initially attracted to the sound he/she made when, after a while, I saw the juvenile and made a few pics of them before moving on and leaving them alone again. Unfortunately, the lighting was not ideal with patches of shadow and light on the birds, but all in all a very nice experience ? Now is my question, which flycatcher… I am leaning towards a Willow Flycatcher. Shot this morning in Rochester, MN. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 The very long primary projection makes this an Eastern Wood-Pewee. Cute photo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I agree with Eastern Wood-Pewee. The primary projection is the length of the primaries measured from the tips of the secondaries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 The crown strongly peaked behind the eye is another good indicator of the genus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
