So, most flycatchers are a yearly challenge for me. The Western Wood-Pewee, however, is one that I am pretty good at identifying now. It doesn't flick its tail like most of the others. Its call is very distinct. Listen to it here. A descending wheeze is how I describe it. They seem to perch out in the open and fly sorties, returning often to the same perch.
