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.
Bay-ringed Tyrannulet
The Bay-ringed Tyrannulet is a small flycatcher of the Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil and northeastern Argentina. It has a brownish-olive plumage with faint wing bars and a subtle eye ring. It forages actively in forest canopy and edges, gleaning insects from foliage.
