Acadian Flycatcher

The Acadian Flycatcher is common in the eastern United States. It is the only breeding empidonax in the south eastern states. It is rare in the northern part of its range in southern Ontario where I am from.
It can be found in mature deciduous woodlands, in beech-maple groves, ravines, swampy woods.
It has olive upper parts with a white or grayish throat, grayish and white breast, yellowish belly and under tail. It has a distinct eye ring and distinct wing bars.
The song is a sharp explosive "peet-suh". Also it has a rapid flicker-like "ti ti ti ti ti ti" which can be clearly heard at the beginning of this video
This video was taken at the Flint Ridge State Memorial near Newark, Ohio. It was a challenge to capture these clips as these birds are very small, making it very difficult to see them when they fly in the woods. Because of their overall quiet nature and drab color it makes them a rewarding capture.

I love how you isolate the bird's song from the noise around the area; usual superb videography!

Beautiful up close look at the Acadian Flycatcher. I hear them more than see them in wooded waterways of Maryland in the spring and summer. Great video.

This video helped me identify one of these birds in my backyard, I was having a hard time figuring out what it was, but thought maybe it was one of these. ^_^

Just to let you know there are ironically pizza parlors in the northeastern U.S. known as "Acadian Pizza." I'm sure the owners of these establishments have no idea.
