Willow Flycatchers are members of the Empidonax family, whose members are difficult to distinguish from each other. Environment is often a good clue, but the best way to narrow themto an individual species is by voice. Willlow Flycatchers supposedly say "Fitz-bew" - does it sound like that to you?

The Willow is the most common Epid around here. Although I have also heard a lot of Least Fly this year too. Truly it is about habitat. AND you gotta know the calls.
