Wood-Pewee sp., Washington County, Colorado, 5/06. Unfortunately the
bird is yawning, not calling. While many traits suggest Eastern, there
is enough variability in both Eastern and Western to preclude an ID of
this bird without hearing it call. |

Fork-tailed Flycatcher (!), Thunder Bay, Ontario, 10/24/04. The bird
had been frequenting a dairy barn for a few weeks (thus the flash photo),
sitting on wires and pipes above the cows. After feeding it would fly
back out the barn's open doors, but despite the efforts of many birders
we couldn't find it outside. Unfortunately, the spectacular tail is obscured
by the pipe in this photo. |
