\"WesternWestern Wood-Pewee perched on barbed wire<\/span><\/p>\n

I saw several Tyrant Flycatchers on my last trip to Montana, Eastern and Western Kingbirds and a couple of Western Wood-Pewees that were hawking from fence posts and barbed wire along a gravel road.<\/p>\n

I haven’t photographed many Western Wood-Pewees so I was\u00a0interested\u00a0in their aerial forays after the insects as I watched and photographed them through my viewfinder.<\/p>\n

These small birds flew off their perches rapidly to go after prey and were difficult to track in flight.<\/p>\n

I hope to have more opportunities with Western Wood-Pewees<\/span><\/a> soon.<\/p>\n
