Cordilleran Flycatcher

Above: Cordilleran Flycatcher (Empidonax occidentalis). This shy dimunitive bird prefers pines and coniferous forests. They've apparently built a nest or two out back this summer, as I hear his distinctive call every day. I hunted for them for sometime before I spotted them, as they're so small. When Jennifer finally spotted one, I took her for ice cream. I spotted this one on my own today and got a fairly decent shot of the tiny bird just before it flitted away.

His song sounds like this: Cordilleran Flycatcher song
