Just so you know, trails flycatcher isn’t an actual species. Two species, willow flycatcher and alder flycatcher are nearly identical. When you can’t tell them apart, it’s a traills.

So, we used Traill’s to denominate that a bird is either an Alder or a Willow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
