Eastern Wood-Pewee

(Contopus virens)

Description:

Other observers on hand believed this bird to be an “Empidonax” flycatcher, but when I studied the images, I could find no reason to call it anything but an Eastern Wood-Pewee. Spring visits to South Padre Island can produce unexpected results. Sometimes there are lulls in the migration, and other times there are spikes.
