Hi Bob,
Thanks for the reply!
Not sure if these will help anyone at all...
A few eBird checklists with audio + spectrographs.
These little guys sure do cause a fuss!

;Hi:
In eastern Oregon the two so-called species can overlap, the birds are
genetically mixed, last I heard at least. The calls by the males in the
morning in Cordilleran tend to sound like two syllables , Pacific-slope
tends to sound like one syllable. But of course the two species can do
just the opposite. IMHO any bird east of the Cascades is a Western
Flycatcher. You would need to look at clear spectrographs even to begin to
try and id the birds.
To begin to work on these birds, you need to understand these two blogs
forward and backward.

PS Having said that, I'll return to being a birder, they are one syllable
calls, clearly a Pacific-slope :). Just kidding, Western.

Howdy hey,
Just wanted to get some second opinions on these Western Flycatchers i
found in the Warner Mountains in Lakeview.
I've found 5 individuals total, and i have audio for 4 that i think are
Cordilleran.
I will attach 2 audio files because 4 apparently exceeds the message
limit.
Let me know what you think!
