The Eastern Wood-Pewee is a common, medium-sized flycatcher of eastern North America, recognized by its melancholic, whistled 'pee-a-wee' song. It is a long-distance migrant.

Where to spot

Breeds in deciduous and mixed forests across eastern North America. Winters primarily in northern South America, from Colombia to Bolivia.

How to spot

Listen intently for its characteristic, clear, drawn-out call. Look for its typical upright posture on a mid-canopy perch, from which it makes short, agile flights to catch insects.

When to spot

Breeding: late spring to early summer in eastern North America. Migration: spring (April-May) and fall (August-October). Wintering: fall through spring in the Neotropics.
