Title: Voice - Quick 3 beers.
Post by: Raven11:11 on February 28, 2009, 02:51:45 PM

I was a a bar recently and was flipping thru my first birding book - Field Guide to Birds .. and a guy walked up to me and asked if I had ever heard of a bird that  has a voice  "quick three beers" . I honestly thought it was a very strange question & somewhat had to do with my beer drinking pace .... after some research I have found that the ' Olive-sided Flycatcher ' has this distinct voice.   Wow. Has anyone any stories or experience with this bird?  Cheers.

I haven't seen this bird myself but I have heard the call when fishing the smaller lakes north east of Toronto in the spring and summer.
Here's a link below of the discription of the bird and how it's considered a species at risk.
