Pacific Slope Flycatcher
| More Bird Resources Tyrant Flycatchers Types of Birds |
Like many of the Empidonax flycatchers, the Pacific-slope Flycatcher (Empidonax difficilis) is a small, dull colored bird.
It breeds along the forested areas of the West Coast, and the tear-drop looking eye-ring serves as a good field identificaiton clue.
During winter they migrate to the coastal areas of Western Mexico.
