Hi Tim. It sounds like a Willow Flycatcher. Was the sound a bit
explosive, almost like a sneeze? Also in what kind of habitat was the
bird? Willow flycatchers generally shun the woods and like wet areas
that are a bit more open with lots of shrubs and willows.

I went on a songbird search in Nisqually today. I saw a flycatcher but
I can never tell what kind they are. Some of you can identify them by
sound. Well I can't. It made a repeated "peePAtchu-peePAtchu" sound.
Any ideas? Thanks.
I also saw 4 common yellowthroats, 2 cedar waxwings, 2 wood ducks, 2
nesting brown creepers, and a common merganser. No tanagers, my hope
for the day. Maybe next time.
