Game Birds and Flycatchers

Some miscellaneous photos from early to mid June that did not quite fit anywhere else.

In early June, Mr. Tom the Wild Turkey began making our yard a regular stop on his grocery route ...


Ruffed Grouse ...


Two Empidonax Flycatchers best distinguished by vocalization (to call either a songster would be a disservice to the real singers).

Alder Flycatcher (my mnemonic is "freeBEER") ...


Willow Flycatcher (FITZbew) ...


Good Birding!

Very nice photos Chris! The Ruffed Grouse is beautiful. Hope you are having a nice summer! I still think about your wonderful post about the loons -- it really stayed with me.
