Western Flycatcher – They’re Back!
They’re Back! They’re back from south of the border! Each year we look forward to seeing the return of this elfin member of the Tyrant Flycatcher family arrive, build their nests and raise their young. Last week I thought I heard a male announcing himself in our nearby woods. Yesterday that voice was confirmed and then this sprightly character showed up. Now, buddy, get to work on those flies and mosquitoes! ~ Anecdote and Western Flycatcher capture, They’re Back! © Jerry L. Ferrara
