Eastern Wood-Pewee

Eastern Wood-pewee

The Eastern Wood Pewee (Contopus virens) is a small tyrant flycatcher from North America. One potential cause of the decline of Eastern Wood-Pewee populations during the last 25 years is the overpopulation of white-tailed deer in the Eastern forests. In areas with high deer density, the intermediate canopy is disturbed by browsing, affecting the foraging space of the flycatcher.
