Bird Tweet of the Week: Eastern Wood-Pewee
The Eastern Wood-Pewee gets its name from its distinct two-syllable song, which can be confused with that of the Eastern Phoebe. This bird is a member of the Flycatcher family, a group of birds that catch flying insects while in flight themselves.
Each week we introduce a new bird from the Ottawa-Gatineau area. Alex MacDonald, Nature Canada’s Manager of Protected Areas, shares interesting facts about the birds that live in our communities. You can listen to past episodes on our website
