Spotted
The Western Wood-Pewee is a common, medium-sized flycatcher of western North America, known for its plaintive, whistled 'pee-weer' call. It is a long-distance migratory species.
Where to spot
Breeds in open woodlands, riparian forests, and forest edges across western North America. Winters in Central and South America, from southern Mexico to Bolivia.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, somewhat buzzy call. Look for its upright posture on an exposed perch, often at mid-canopy height, from which it sally-hunts insects.
When to spot
Breeding: late spring to early summer in western North America. Migration: spring (April-May) and fall (August-October). Wintering: fall through spring in the Neotropics.

Distinguishing it from the Eastern Wood-Pewee by sight alone is notoriously difficult, making their distinct vocalizations the primary identification tool.
