This little guy showed up in the yard today .... I am not sure of it's ID ... I think it is an Eastern Wood Pewee or a Willow Flycatcher. Anyone know for sure?

Wow -- very nice shot. I'm going to vote for the Willow Flycatcher. I looked closely at some bird ID websites, and it's definitely tough to tell the difference. What they need on those sites are some better photos... hmmm... I wonder who might be able to supply some...?

Thanks Jonathan...I was using my Peterson's field guide and having a difficult time deciding. It looks like my bird does not have any white circle around the eye and the wing bars are not white. My wife thinks it's a young Wood Pewee but I thought it was a Willow Flycatcher.

PS I would be honored to have my images use for a field guide. They are all available on my Zenfolio site....pretty cheap too

Perhaps you could pitch your photos directly to these types of bird websites, or better yet to publishers of nature books. They should jump at them, I'd say. Not that I know anything about publishing, but I definitely know that your bird photos are the best I've seen, in or out of books.

Thanks. I may do a little research and see if I can find a way to do that
