Olive-sided Flycatcher

Contopus cooperi

The Olive-sided Flycatcher is a small migratory bird known for its distinctive call that sounds like 'quick-three-beers'. It is primarily found in open woodlands and forest edges across North and South America. This bird is known for perching on high branches and sallying out to catch flying insects. The Olive-sided Flycatcher is identified by its olive-brown plumage, white throat, and contrasting white tufts on its sides. It is a long-distance migrant, spending winters in South America and breeding in North America. Due to habitat loss and insect population declines, the Olive-sided Flycatcher is facing population declines in some regions.
