- Comments: "Small flycatcher, olive-ish back, clear white wingbars, no smudges on undertail coverts.  I watched it vocalize a number of time, sounds like a dogs squeaky toy. Merlin identified it repeatedly as Acadian flycatcher. Found in lower Midwood area. It came down low a couple of times so I got very good look
