BrianMorin: A sure sign of summer. This bird is most likely an Alder or Willow flycatcher but without hearing the call they can't be safely separated. The bird lacks the peaked head as well as long wings and tail of a Pewee.The Pewee bill looks a bit longer in proportion to the head and is not so conical. These features for all three species are subtle making identification challenging but the giveaway in this case is the lack of a peaked head.

Long Sault - Also identified by call. This bird was 50 yards from the Willow but true to its name the Willow was in a nice stand of willows along a creek. But even that is not a reliable way to confirm what you are looking at.

Ottawa - Identified by call, after 15 minutes of waiting. Habitat is not a clear indicator of what the species is so you really need them to call to be sure.

Ottawa - I returned to the site I had a bird recently and wanted to capture it on a sunny day. After a while it landed on a nearby perch and sang for me.
