#alder flycatcher

[jadafitch]

Another dream job! Illustrating an article by Kenn Kaufman for National Audubon Society , about identifying flycatchers and knowing their favorite foods. Find out when and where to find midges, mayflies, termites, tent caterpillars and cicadas, in this spring’s issue of Audubon Magazine.

Day 16 of #feathruary2024 is #Marsh or #Swamp and I selected the #AlderFlycatcher

The background pattern is meant to suggest a sonograph of the bird's freeBEER call. Also pictured, an #AmericanCopper#Butterfly

@feathruary is a #birdartchallenge hosted by Missy @projectparlor and Michell @mischievousredfox and features a different bird-related art prompt each day which is open to interpretation. #birdart#feathruary

[CM] Birds - Biyaw 2

Our final bird post! At least until I inevitably find some Maine birding guide that introduces a new species, haha. Today’s the second half of the biyaw* list, birds that are common and easily hunted. 

Below are translations for sparrows, vireos, and a whole lot more.

Northern waterthrush (Parkesia noveboracensis) - Chochocho Streaky brown-and-cream bird. Present in summer and fall. Feed on insects, snails, fish, and salamanders. Known for foraging along watersides in the bog.

Wood thrush (Hylocichla mustelina) - Wupwiurr Brown-and-white thrush with a spotted chest and belly. Present in summer. Feed on insects and berries.

Veery (Catharus fuscescens) - Veerr Brown-and-white thrush, similar to a wood thrush but unspotted. Present in summer. Feed on insects and berries. 

Song sparrow (Melospiza melodia) - Hipchee Brownish sparrow with heavy streaking and red stripes on the head. Present year-round. Feed mostly on insects and seeds. 

Swamp sparrow (Melospiza georgiana) - Sees Brown sparrow with an unpatterned belly. Present year-round but most abundant in spring, summer, and fall. Feed mostly on insects. 

White-eyed vireo (Vireo griseus) - Pikchikawee Gray-and-yellow vireo with white eyes. Present sparingly in summer and fall. Feed on insects and berries. The word pikchikawee is derived from a mnemonic I saw for white-eyed vireo calls!

Yellow-throated vireo (Vireo flavifrons) - Ee’earp Mostly gray bird with a yellow-olive head and white underparts. Present sparingly in summer. Feed on insects, fruit, and seeds.

Warbling vireo (Vireo gilvus) - Wiuwiu Dull gray bird with a slightly lighter belly. Present in summer and early fall. Feed mostly on insects, but eat berries as well.

Blue-headed vireo (Vireo solitarius) - Wee’rip White-and-olive bird with a blue-gray head and white eye rings. Present in summer and fall. Feed on insects and small fruit.

Marsh wren (Cistothorus palustris) - Pich Little chocolate-brown bird with a distinct body shape, often seen perched while bobbing its tail. Present year-round but most abundant in summer. Feed mostly on insects.

Alder flycatcher (Empidonax alnorum) - Rebeer Grayish-brown and white flycatcher with a small head crest. Present in summer. Feed on insects - can be seen flycatching, darting off a branch to catch bugs mid-air! 

Phoebe (Sayornis phoebe) - Weebee Small flycatcher with a dark brownish-gray back and white underparts. Present year-round but most abundant in summer and fall. Feed on insects and berries.

Bittern (Botaurus lentiginosus) - Wikbwip Small heron with brown-and-cream streaking and a long striped beak. Present in spring and summer, sometimes seen in fall. Feed on fish, frogs, insects, and other aquatic life. Bitterns have some unique nicknames - my favorite is “mire-drum”.

Morning walk along river

After yesterday’s encounter with the Great Egret, I vowed to carry my camera every jaunt. Here are a few shots from this morning, when mosquitos seem to outnumber birds. The Great Blue Heron was on patrol again. This Alder Flycatcher was singing instead of bug-catching. I probably saw these geese as youngsters earlier in the summer. These young mergansers have been cruising since the…

#319 Alder Flycatcher on June 19

#320 Least Bittern on June 29

#321 Stilt Sandpiper, #322 Franklin's Gull, #323 Long-billed Dowitcher together on a flooded sod farm on August 9

Only need 3 species to tie for #100, 4 to definitely place...

4 weeks until I move!

I so desperately want to break into the VA Top 100 eBirders before I move again... I only need 7 more species... Unfortunately most of those are shorebirds I missed this spring, shorebirds I don't want to drive to Chincoteague for, or rarities I don't want to drop everything and hustle for. So you can see my dilemma

April 26th is John James Audubon’s birthday. Audubon was best known for his book The Birds of America, which contains 435 hand-colored prints of bird species. These three prints from our 1960 edition depict the painted bunting, the rufous hummingbird, and the alder flycatcher.

Since I’m quarantined for another week, I started drawing for the first time in a few years and decided to start with birds

In order: blue jay, alder flycatcher, mourning dove, Canadian goose

I’ve never really drawn, so if anyone has tips or advice on what I could do better, it would be super helpful if you would comment any suggestions you have lol thank u

(And I know my blue jay’s face looks wonky for some reason and my flycatcher is just not very good but that’s okay lol)

Migration Preamble at MINWR

Migration Preamble at MINWR

August 27, 2017 It’s been an Empidonax-filled late summer here in central Florida, with reports of the little flycatchers coming in about every day so far in the last week or so. I saw two Acadian Flycatchers near where I work and have seen several unidentified “Empids” in my travels around Lake and Sumter, and Brevard Counties. On Sunday, I met up with Camille to check out flycatcher and warbler…
