Acadian Flycatcher

Published on Jan 5, 2014

Acadian Flycatcher (Empidonax virescens) breeds in closed-canopy broadleaf forests near water in the eastern U.S. It rained during the night, and water dripped from the canopy as the sun rose. A sunbeam draws the rising mist and insects toward the waiting spider. The explosive chirps of the Acadian Flycatcher and the chiming song of the Wood Thrush so typify these woods, Location: Murrysville Community Park, Duff Park, and Coaltown Gamelands, Westmoreland County, southwest Pennsylvania. Birds of Pennsylvania. Birds of North America.

About the BIRDING VISIONS channel. With these vignettes I hope to share some of the sublime beauty of birds and their habitats. This channel specializes in combining footage and audio recordings of birds with portraits of the biotope and surrounding landscape. These are both documentary clips and impressions of an experience. The scenes are far-ranging – from the Rock Wren of remote Willis Creek Slot Canyon, Utah, calling Dotterel on the Hardangervidda plateau, Norway, to a band of Arabian Babblers in the Negev Desert, Israel.

HD 1920-1080 footage and high-quality audio recording. The videos are organized in playlists by geographical region and country.

This bird is singing from a bare branch within the forest of the Bray Conservation Area to announce its territory to other competing males and potential mates. Although its song is short ("plitSeek"), it is distinctive from the other members of the difficult Empidonax genus. As this bird flies back to a branch, it also utters a trilled call of unknown function. Birds of this species nest in the E United States and S Ontario. They migrate south of the United States in the fall because flying insects are harder to find in the winter.

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.
