Title: Interesting bird for my backyard
Post by: Napper on August 19, 2015, 07:59:04 PM

Interesting because I've never seen a flycatcher in my tree in Milton.

I won't even attempt it cause I am terrible with these guys unless they make noise and this one did not.

My huge ash tree is becoming a victim of the Ash Borer.

Well, in this case, you're lucky. Only one of those cryptic flycatchers has an all black bill: Eastern Phoebe!

Thanks for pic and ID....I see them all the time and wonder if they are indeed flycatchers

thanx

Thats just typical isn't it, I see them a our place up North throughout the summer but usually they make their signature call and flip their tail.
