Least Flycatcher (Empidonax minimus) - Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

This cooperative little flycatcher was my first of the year. He was kind enough to land and pose quite close to me. Maybe it was the swarm of 100 insects around my head. As we welcome back the birds, so must we do with the mosquitoes.

Thanks for visiting!

don't we all know someone like that?

Since most varieties of flycatchers look alike, knowing their songs and calls is very helpful to identifying them.

Summer started out dull and rainy (the wettest June on record I believe). So catching catchers out of the canopy and in the sunlight that had managed to peek through was spotty at best. Dave and I had to go far afield to the Okanagan Valley to catch the least of all flycatchers - a *Lifer* for the both of us. I've picked this shot of the Least Flycatcher to head up the set that follows in the comment box.

I found this bird by song alone...those phone apps are a great learning tool...sort of like a crutch. (After raising seven kids, I'm pretty well deaf to any chirping...unless of course, it's significant.)

In Los Alamos County, there were no reports of a Least Flycatcher until the summer of 2020, making him one of the 13 new species of bird for the county. This one is another of the hard-to-identify Empidonax flycatchers, with an olive back, gray to yellowish belly, thin white eye ring, and a short primary projection. He stayed in the vicinity of a retention pond in Los Alamos, enabling many of the local birdwatchers to locate him.

This is the second consecutive year that one has appeared here in our thicket, during July.

Taken on 09/26/2015, at Del Mar Public Works, Del Mar, San Diego. The bird was found by Tito Gonzalez.

I had been on a road trip for the morning. The property we were at was very densely forested and did not have many birds.

When we got home I needed my fix of birds so drove to Fish Creek Park where I was guaranteed to find some willing subjects.

Thanks all for your views, faves and comments. They are greatly appreciated!

Bold eye rings and a big head seperate this LEAST FLYCATCHER from other similar flycatchers.

This is the smallest flycatcher in North America.
