A nearly impossible task to differentiate the Willow vs the Alder flycatcher as they are nearly identical in appearance, unless they are heard vocalizing. Luckily this one was calling in the field so I was able to say with certainty that it was a Willow.

Beautiful pic of the Willow. Glad it was singing for you. I’m still working through their sounds – I always hear “Free Beer.”
