About These Birds
Acadian Flycatcher
The Acadian Flycatcher weighs about 13g and breeds in eastern North American forest ravines. It is identified by its sharp 'peet-sa' call and olive-green upperparts.
Black-fronted Tyrannulet
The Black-fronted Tyrannulet is a tiny, active flycatcher with olive-green upperparts, yellowish underparts, a pale eye ring, and a conspicuous black forehead patch. It inhabits humid montane forests and forest edges from Venezuela and Colombia south through Ecuador and Peru to Bolivia, typically in the Andean foothills and cloud forest zone. It gleans insects from foliage and twigs high in the forest canopy, often in mixed-species flocks.
