Eastern Wood-Pewee
Contopus virens
ORDER: PASSERIFORMES
FAMILY: TYRANNIDAE
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
One of the hallmark species of the Eastern deciduous forest, the Eastern Wood-Pewee is an inconspicuous dull brown bird of the middle canopy. Despite its abundance, this bird could be easily overlooked if not for its persistent "pee-ah-wee" song.
