Alder flycatcher
Alder flycatcher has upperparts with olive brown color and the underparts are white in color. It has an indistinct white ring around the eyes. The wings of alder flycatcher are olive brown with white and pale bars present. It has black legs and feet. Weak flap directs the flight with shallow, fast wing beats.
It breeds from Alaska east through Manitoba to Newfoundland and south to British Columbia. It spends winter season in tropical areas and the preferred habitat includes the riparian areas, bogs, ponds, swamps and ponds.
The Alder Flycatcher is like the Willow Flycatcher that they were once thought to be the same kind. Song is the only ultimate way to tell them apart.
In an experiment made on the song learning, Alder Flycatchers were "trainedr" with Willow Flycatcher song in the first few months of life. The next spring, they sang normal Alder Flycatcher song.
