Empidonax alnorum
To the right of the bird feeder on a must unusual Mississippi winter, there were 2 Alder Flycatchers. They have a dull, olive-gray to greenish olive back and 2 whitish wing bars.
Breeds in wet thickets; prefers alder, maple or birch.
Even though they mostly eat insects, they will result to eating from the bird feeder in winter.
