Gregory's ServerOne of the beautiful birds that most guides categorize as "mostly nondescript": the lovely, thoughtful little flycatcher known as the Western wood-peewee.

@wurzelmann Aren't they so pretty? They always look to me like an artist made them with those soft charcoal chalks. They have such charming little details. 🥹🥰  @handmade_ghost @BeazLouise Aren't they lovely birds! I've only seen Eastern ones in photos but ❤️. This one sings a buzzy little "brrreeeer" (like they've had more than a few "quick three beers" like their olive-sided flycatcher tree neighbors lol).  @handmade_ghost I always say when you see something described in guides as “mostly nondescript”, get closer and marvel at the beauty most folks don’t get to see. Very nice. Love the funny little expressive eyes on these birds. @danmccullough Yes! The "nondescript" is really just a hint to study closely. And I love the eyes on these little friends, too--they are like sweet, animated birds from a children's film. @handmade_ghost Thanks to your image description they're now at-least-once-descript. @handmade_ghost Oh! I've recently fallen in love with the Eastern Wood-Peewee. I was so delighted to learn that this sweet little bird is named after its song. |
@handmade_ghost oh, they're lovely. :face_holding_back_tears:
