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-backed Tody-flycatcher
The Black-backed Tody-flycatcher is a small, patterned flycatcher of forest edges, dense thickets, and vine tangles in the Amazon basin of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. It has a black back and crown contrasting with its white and yellow underparts. It forages actively in dense vegetation for small insects.
