Yellow Bellied Fly Catcher

from Les Suetes by Mark Brennan

/

about

We begin just after dawn, this old growth forest set inland from the wild coast of the Atlantic is sheltered from Les Suetes, the high wind that funnels over the Boreal plateau to rush down the steep mountainsides of the Cape Breton Highlands. The small wood warblers and Fly Catchers sing, one of them the seldom seen Yellow Bellied Fly Catcher.

Yellow-bellied Flycatchers wait on a perch low or in the middle of a tree and fly out to catch insects in flight, sometimes hovering over foliage. They sometimes eat berries or seeds.

The Yellow-bellied Flycatcher's song can be transcribed as a rough, descending "TSE-berk," which can be similar to the more common Least Flycatcher's snappier, more evenly pitched "che-bek." The three primary call notes of Yellow-bellied Flycatcher are a clear, ascending "chu-wee," a sharp, gruff "peekk", and a soft, descending "pyu."

In this recording, he can be heard at about 3.12.
