Olive-sided Flycathcher

Olive-sided Flycatchers are Fairly Common from Mid-May-Mid August.

Habitat

This forest flycatcher historically used recently burned areas, but now that most fires are suppressed, it often takes advantage of areas that have been logged, as well as other clearings and edges, which are superficially similar to post-fire stands.

Behavior

The Olive-sided Flycatcher sits high in a treetop, darting out after a flying insect, then returns to its perch. It vocalizes frequently, and is readily identified by its distinctive "what-PEVEES-you

" or "pip-pip-pip" call.
