The Willow Flycatcher can be seen in the center right of frame, body facing left, with their head turned back, looking right; on a thin salvia plant. From allaboutbirds.org., Willow Flycatchers are small, slender flycatchers, but they are one of the larger members of the Empidonax genus. They have a fairly long, thin tail and wings. The bill is broad. Like other flycatchers, they tend to perch upright. Willow Flycatchers are brownish olive overall with a slight yellow wash to the belly. They have 2 whitish wingbars and a white throat that contrasts with the brownish olive breast. The white eyering seen on most Empidonax flycatchers is very thin and nearly absent on Willow Flycatchers.

Happy Sunday friends... It doesn't matter how small you are, only matters if you get the job done. This Willow Flycatcher is a fierce hunter of insects which makes all of our lives better as the result. #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #photography 🪶🦉📷 #easstcoastkin

Meet Jax, for #HumansOfBlueSky. Jax has a rare heart condition (A monitor is on her arm under the blue wrap). They are unable to operate until she gets over 80 lbs. In the meantime, she walks a tightrope with grace, dignity, humour and love. #Photography #EasstCoastKin.
