INTRODUCING BIRDS CANADA’S 2024 AVIAN AMBASSADOR: THE OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER

"They are the quintessential long-distance migratory songbirds. Incredible journeys, tough-as-nails appearance, and beautifully regal even without the elaborate ornate coloring of their wood-warbler neighbours. And as much as I would love to wax poetic about how this well-postured denizen of Canada’s boreal forest represents Canada – it is in fact a bird that is shared across the hemisphere, with the majority of their time spent on migration and in their Central and South American post-breeding grounds.
