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.
Belted Flycatcher
The Belted Flycatcher is a small, distinctive flycatcher endemic to pine-oak forests of the Pacific slope of Chiapas, Mexico and western Guatemala. It has a rufous breast band separating its white throat and belly, giving it the 'belted' appearance. It forages in forest understory and edges, catching insects with short aerial sallies.
