Field Guide to North American Flycatchers by Cin-Ty Lee and Andrew Birch

Discover the subtle beauty of North America’s flycatchers with this incisive, user-friendly field guide. Whether you’re watching warily in a Pacific Northwest alder stand, scanning riparian corridors in the Southwest desert, or listening along New England woodlands, this guide helps you quickly separate look‑alike Empidonax vagrants, kingbirds, pewees, and other Tyrannidae across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Alaska.

Clear, field‑tested ID tips focus on the characters that matter: bill shape, flight style, tail flicks, molt and plumage variation, and distinctive vocalizations. Carefully written species accounts pair concise behavioral notes with seasonal range information and habitat preferences so you can anticipate which flycatcher you’re likely to encounter from the Great Plains to coastal marshes. Helpful comparison cues and regional notes reduce uncertainty on migration routes and breeding grounds.
