Olive-sided Flycatcher (Contopus cooperi) (1)
- Reported May 28, 2026 07:19 by Cailyn Hansen
- Prospect Park, Kings, New York
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&q=40.6602841,-73.9689534&ll=40.6602841,-73.9689534
- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S348281355
- Comments: "First seen from behind high up in a dead tree on a far snag in the Midwood. White patches on the side of the rump visible as it fluffed around. After about a minute, while still perched, it turned around, and I saw the beautiful vest it was sporting. Medium grey sides with a white middle from throat to low on the belly.
Likely the bird Forrest reported earlier."

- Comments: "Probable Yellow-bellied Flycatcher. Small Empidonax with olive upperparts, bright yellowish underparts, distinct pale eyering, and strong wingbars. Lower mandible appeared orange. Compared against Acadian and Least Flycatcher; overall coloration and structure favored Yellow-bellied. Merlin Sound ID also detected Yellow-bellied Flycatcher in the area."

- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S348287226
- Comments: "Heard and seen well. Alerted by its harsh "pweek" call, and quickly got on it, empid with a big beak and sloping forehead. kind of like what if a herring gill was an empid. Eventually gave a full-throated "pwee-tseet!" song."

- Comments: "In the Midwood. Heard the explosive "pweek!" twice and the rising song "peet-ZHA" once. Maybe got a glimpse of it as it was quarrelling with another bird (perhaps the Olive-sided I saw later nearby). (Maybe have bad phone audio).
