Empids

Post by MtnAg08 »

Got a chance to try my hand at Aidan's wonderful Empid guide. Still not confident with my IDs. I'm most confident on the third one which I believe is Western. I've seen a few of those and the teardrop eye seems to be the giveaway on them. The other two the eye ring doesn't seem as pronounced/teardrop so I'm thinking they're different maybe Hammond's or Western-Wood Pewee?
