Black Pewee

Contopus nigrescens

The Black Pewee is a small passerine bird found in Central and South America. It is known for its distinctive call, a clear 'pee-a-wee' sound. This species is often found in forested habitats, particularly near streams and rivers. The Black Pewee is primarily insectivorous, catching its prey on the wing. It is a small, dark-colored bird with a short bill and a slightly notched tail. While its conservation status is not well-documented, it is generally considered to be of least concern due to its widespread distribution and stable population.
