Contopus sordidulus
Western Wood-Pewees are medium sized flycatchers with olive-gray upperparts, pale olive-gray underparts, dusky breasts, grayish throats, dark caps with slight crests. Western Wood-Pewees are nearly identical to Eastern Wood-Pewees.
Yesterday I had just a few moments to focus on a young Western Wood-Pewee that showed up in front of a thicket of hawthorns in the mountains.
Western Wood-Pewees are drab, medium-sized, flycatchers that breed in the open forests and riparian habitats in western North America.
I saw several Tyrant Flycatchers on my last trip to Montana, Eastern and Western Kingbirds and a couple of Western Wood-Pewees that were hawking from fence posts and barbed wire along a gravel road.
