Flycatchers!

Known for their aerial acrobatics and boisterous personalities, flycatchers return to Oregon each spring after wintering in the tropics. While some species are colorful and boldly patterned, others are difficult to tell apart. This class will introduce you to all the regularly occurring species and show you how to identify them by sight and sound.
