I know it is late posting and the bird is likely long gone. I had a flycatcher calling
repeatedly at Kenny Road on Cape Sable Island on Aug. 5. It was the definite call of a
willow flycatcher. By the time I thought that I should be making a recording of the call
to confirm it, the bird conveniently stopped calling altogether. I only have a bad photo
of it. I put it down as a result as an alder flycatcher even though I know that it was
not. I've listened to the calls on Audubon/Cornell and they match exactly the bird
that I heard calling for the willow flycatcher.
