Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Sadly, despite the name, not an ocean-going flycatcher; instead, this is a species of forest and forest edge habitats on Micronesia’s Chuuk Islands. Combination of bluish-gray head, pale orange throat and breast, brown-tinged wings, and slightly peaked head is unique on the islands. “Flycatches” from a perch, often close to the ground. Gives a variety of vocalizations, including a series of cheerful rising whistles, a repetitive squeaky series, a descending chatter, and hoarse meows.
