Eastern Wood-Pewee
Contopus virens
"The wood-pewees are dark
olive-gray above and pale gray below, with whiter throats and
bellies. Adults display two light wing-bars that distinguish
them from the larger eastern phoebe, but they lack the white
eye-rings of the still smaller Empidonax flycatchers. The wood-pewee's
upper mandible is black; the lower, dull orange, in
contrast to the phoebe's all-black bill."
Photo taken using a Nikon D80 and
