The Western Flycatcher is a small olive-and-yellow songbird of shaded western forests, often found near streams, ravines, and gaps in the canopy. It watches from a perch, then makes short flights to catch passing insects. A pale eye-ring and wing bars help describe its appearance, but its voice is especially useful for identification. Pacific-slope and Cordilleran Flycatchers were combined as Western Flycatcher in 2023; this album retains the earlier Pacific-slope wording alongside the current name.
