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.

Unlike many birds, it tends to sing persistently even during the heat of the day, making its presence known even when hidden by foliage.
