I rarely see this bird, but I often hear it in the forest.

The Pacific Slope Flycatcher is a hard bird to spot but photographer Ron LeValley was up to the challenge.

They have a distinctive call. You can hear it at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology at this site: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Pacific-slope_Flycatcher/sounds

These small flycatchers eat insects...on the fly!

Thanks to Ron for allowing me to share his photo with you. To see much more of Ron's nature photography, here is the link to his website: http://levalleyphoto.com/home/

Great shot of a lovely little bird. Thanks for sharing and also for the link to it's call, now I know what to look for if I hear it.
