Having managed seeing and photographing a Western Wood-Pewee, another flycatcher I have been watching out for at the North 40 is the Willow Flycatcher. Late this afternoon while out for a stroll something caught my eye low in the trees. With the binoculars I could see it tucked away amongst the branches and that it was my first of year Willow Flycatcher. After a little waiting it came out and alighted in the bramble beside me.
What made it even better was when it started singing. Can’t ask for much more than that.
