About These Birds
Alder Flycatcher
The Alder Flycatcher is a small North American flycatcher weighing about 13 g with a wingspan near 14 cm. It breeds in alder thickets and wet scrub across Canada and the northern United States, identified primarily by its distinctive fee-BEE-o song rather than its plain olive-grey plumage.
Apical Flycatcher
The Apical Flycatcher is a medium-sized Myiarchus flycatcher from Colombia, weighing about 30 grams with a wingspan of approximately 17 cm. It inhabits dry and semi-arid woodlands, where it sallies from perches to catch insects. Its distinctive crest and brownish plumage are typical of the Myiarchus flycatcher group.
