Eastern Wood-Pewee

Contopus virens

Description:

One of the hallmark species of the Eastern deciduous forest, the Eastern Wood-Pewee is an inconspicuous dull brown bird of the middle canopy. Despite its abundance, this bird could be easily overlooked if not for its persistent "pee-ah-wee" song.

Notes:

You will hear this bird before you see it.
