Great Crested Flycatcher probably comes closest, although none of its recorded dawn songs sound exactly like the ones I heard from this bird. <br /><br />Raining Iguanas, how wonderful that your sons had the chance to experience Pyramid Lake. I count my love affair with all things Adirondack to my attending a retreat there over 20 years ago.Jacqueline Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390548854179921303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-40647230487904267962012-05-29T23:10:30.359-04:002012-05-29T23:10:30.359-04:00My sons were fortunate to have experienced the bea...My sons were fortunate to have experienced the beauty of Pyramid many years ago.

While GC Flycatcher certainly is robin-sized, the color doesn't match with that of the picture.

My bird's second syllable rhymed with "you" instead of "we." Maybe "wit-chew" would be a better alliteration. Plus, this bird was robin-sized if not larger.Jacqueline Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390548854179921303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-92217956688313238712012-05-28T14:08:30.967-04:002012-05-28T14:08:30.967-04:00Lovely, sacred moments in the early morning stilln...Lovely, sacred moments in the early morning stillness of the lake!<br />Based on your written description of the call of the flycatcher, I'd guess it's an Eastern Wood Peewee.<br />Blessings!catharushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05603292208345268247noreply@blogger.com
