Jordan Lake. The eastern wood-pewee is a medium sized flycatcher. And as is true of all flycatchers their heads are always in motion – swiveling all about looking for insects to dash after, catch and gobble up. Then repeat the dash and catch!

songbirds and flycatchers
Eastern Phoebe
This medium sized flycatcher was still just long enough for me catch its profile.
Prairie Warbler
This songster was a new addition to my life list. It is a summer breeder here.
Chipping Sparrow
He has a beak that is crammed full with insects.
Eastern Wood-Pewee
The pewee often has a favorite look-out perch branch and will return to it in-between catching flying insects.
This is a pair of wood-pewee fledglings that are playing king-of-the-perch-branch.
Yellow-throated Warbler.
Just how handsome can a bird get?
Carolina Chickadee
The bird to the right is the parent chickadee.
The bird to the left is a newly fledged chickadee – still very awkward in flight.
