Hi,
I saw this bird today and have seen the same or similar birds in the last few weeks near Navvy Jack Park in West Vancouver. I'm new at this, but I see a yellow lower mandible, a pale throat, yellowish underparts, a partial eye-ring, a pale gray back and thin white edges to wing feathers. On this basis, it seems to be an Eastern Wood-Pewee, although I understand this to be rare in BC. The distinct pale throat and yellowish underbelly appear to distinguish it from and Western Wood Pewee. What do you think?
