Here's the female Satin Flycatcher (Myiagra cyanoleuca) #BirdingTasmania #BirdingAustralia #flycatchers #FlycatcherFriday

Male Satin Flycatcher (Myiagra cyanoleuca). A member of the Monarch #flycatchers which are found primarily in Australasia. This species is migratory in Tasmania, heading north in the winter. #BirdingAustralia #BirdingTasmania #FlycatcherFriday

Magpie lark in flight #BirdingAustralia #FlycatcherFriday

Another image of Magpie Lark (Grallina cyanoleuca). It's neither a magpie nor a lark, but a member of the Monarch #flycatchers . A bit strange as it seems to spend most of its time on the ground. #BirdingAustralia #birdingMelbourne #FlycatcherFriday

Eastern phoebe (Sayornis phoebe) – Happy #FlycatcherFriday! This photo gives me the distinct impression that this bird is proudly posing after scaling to the summit of a massive mountain.

Here's one for #FlycatcherFriday Yet another Black Redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros). They seem to be all over the place right now. #BirdingHungary #redstarts #flycatchers

In cities, towns & suburbs, the commonest flycatcher is the Black Redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros). They love being around human habitation. They are around all year but scarce in mid-winter. #BirdingHungary #flycatchers #FlycatcherFriday #birds

Regimen fascisticum delendum est!

I missed #FlycatcherFriday yesterday, so here's a catch-up from this morning. European Pied Flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) 😀 #BirdingHungary #birds #flycatchers

Inquisitive eastern wood-pewee perched on a branch

Eastern wood-pewee (Contopus virens) – I didn't post while I was away, but now I'm back. So here's a friendly little pewee for #FlycatcherFriday. I love when birds simply say their own name when they sing or call.

♀️ Black Redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros). Lots of young in the garden right now..... fully fledged but still being fed by their parents. 😀 #BirdingHungary #birds #flycatchers #FlycatcherFriday

I missed #FlycatcherFriday yesterday so here's a catch-up. Another portrait of Red-breasted Flycatcher (Ficedula parva). The breast is orange rather than red, so maybe it should be called Orange-breasted Flycatcher. 😄 #BirdingHungary #flycatchers #birds

Didn't want to wait until #FlycatcherFriday to post this male Red-breasted Flycatcher (Ficedula parva) .. one of four I saw today. These things are tiny.. maybe 10% bigger than a kinglet, but what they lack in size they make up for in voice. 😀👍 #BirdingHungary #BirdsSeenin2025 #flycatchers #birds

A plain Jane of the flycatcher world.. Spotted Flycatcher (Muscicapa striata) #BirdingHungary #BirdsSeenin2025 #flycatcher #FlycatcherFriday #birds

Nice ♂️ Whinchat (Saxicola rubetra). In Hungary, this tiny flycatcher is found mostly on the open, treeless steppe. #BirdingHungary #birds #BirdsSeenin2025 #flycatchers #FlycatcherFriday

Great crested flycatcher – Today I helped 4 Calvin University students practice bird ID for their summer research. Since I didn't have my camera, here are old pics of one of the species we saw today. #FlycatcherFriday

Eastern kingbird (6 Jul 2024) – Why don't we make it #FlycatcherFriday, in honor of the fact that I saw my first kingbird of the year this week. It wasn't this one though; I captured this shot last summer. :-)

Nuttings perched in thicket

A highlight of our surveys on the Lower Colorado River project was finding and confirming the first breeding record of the Nutting’s Flycatcher in the United States. A small population persisted for several years, & some territories were even mapped on our survey plots.

#LCRbirds #FlycatcherFriday

Eastern phoebe – I saw my first phoebe of the year yesterday, singing loud + proud and bobbing its little tail up and down. So to celebrate #FlycatcherFriday, here's a close-up shot I got of one last summer.

silhouetted Nutting's Flycatcher in shrub against a gray sky.

The Nutting’s Flycatcher is the puffy-headed tropical replacement of Ash-throated Flycatcher, although the breeding ranges of the two overlap and they were long thought to be the same species. Now it is widely believed that Nutting’s represents at least two species.
