Hi all, Since nobody has said anything about this bird yet: My vote is Least Flycatcher. Prominent eye ring, rather chunky shape and apparent short primaries all point to Least. However, the bird does have a rather chunky looking head. If I were in Colorado rather than WI, I might say Hammond's. Anyone else? Happy Birding! --Chris W, Richland County http://swallowtailedkite.blogspot.com/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/swallowtailphoto "The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the composer; but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be again."
