Field Notes

Description:

I took this picture from a shooting house in Greensboro, Alabama. It was on my son's first hunting trip and this was pretty much the only wildlife we saw that morning.

I suspect this is an Eastern Phoebe (Sayornis phoebe). These flycatchers often appear to have a big head, like the one in your photo. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Phoebe for more info....

I think it's a fly-catcher, but what one, I don't know.
