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.
Black-and-white Tody-flycatcher
The Black-and-white Tody-flycatcher is a small, patterned flycatcher found in forest edges, bamboo thickets, and scrub in the Amazonian lowlands of Ecuador and Peru. It has a boldly contrasting black crown and white face and underparts. It forages actively in dense vegetation for insects.
