briancdn Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Would these both be Least Flycatchers? Parc Frayere, Boucherville, QC today Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caley Thomas 2.0 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 1. Warbling Vireo (I think, wait for others to confirm). 2. Flycatcher for sure, and Least seems plausible to me though not certain. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to hazard a guess for eastern flycatchers, other than I don't think the body is squat enough for a Least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmWarbler Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I think the second might be a Willow Flycatcher? Don’t ask me why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinHood Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Agree with Warbling Vireo and Willow/Alder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chica Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Re: willow/alder - you pretty much can't distinguish - generally. My first thought was willow, but the eye-ring is a little more prominent than I've seen in known willow flycatchers. Not a Least - eye-ring is too small (imho). And the slight yellowish belly also leads me back to alder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
