During my road trip I came upon a few birds I need some i.d. help with:
This was on Road 22 near Osoyoos, at first I thought it was a juvenile Say's Phoebe because it was near an adult, but now I'm thinking maybe not??

This was also in the Okanagan near Kelowna, I believe it may be a Black-chinned Hummingbird, but I'm not positive. Sorry for the poor quality - distant shots that are highly cropped.

And the last one, this was taken in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I was thinking Least Flycatcher?

Thanks so much for the help!

The first is an empid sp., and I'm thinking Willow Flycatcher.

I agree with Black-chinned Hummingbird.

Pass on the last, though Least is a good bet.

Hi Debra,

I think the first one is indeed a willow flycatcher as Fancy said. An Alder flycatcher which looks almost identical would usually have more distinct and brighter white-coloured wingbars.

I agree that is a black-chinned hummingbird if you look at the tail feather tips it's indicative of a black-chinned instead of an Anna's. I think the purple throat is obscured at that angle.

I agree with you regarding the least flycatcher. The yellowish belly and the tiny bill, white eye-ring that gets wider behind the eye (usually more distinct unless they are juveniles), biggish head with white throat contrasting and the short notched tail with the white under-feathers all point to Least to me.

Cheers and thanks for sharing your great finds. What a great time you must have had on your vacation.
