FLYCATCHER IDENTIFICATION


Least Flycatcher

The identification of small flycatchers is not very easy in my humble opinion, although we have more tools for identification to our disposal than ever. I have three apps on my phone and the number of printed bird guides in our home library has increased over the years. If you think my selection is not correct, please let me know. I always value the input of other birders, photographers, and nature lovers.

This photo was made earlier this week in Bankston County Park. I made a few more with different poses of the flycatcher that helped with identification, but this one I liked the best.
