The documentation form by Charlotte Scott is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Another observer was Dick Scott. | Elimination of similar species: [...] I ruled out Empidonax flycatchers immediately because of his lack of an eyering and what I considered--smaller size. I ruled out Eastern Phoebe because of the distinct wing bars, the yellow lower mandible and the fact that he did not flick his tail. Also I considered this to be better habitat for a Pewee. 90% of the Phoebes I see are near a bridge and stream or deserted buildings. | The original documentation form event lasted from 09:30:00/09:33:00.

|
Schaufenbuel, Joseph P.
|
Western Wood-Pewee
|
Elm Lake
|
Elm Lake, near Belmond, Wright County
|
The bird was found in a narrow grove of mature Cottonwood surrounding Elm Lake, the lake is in the mist of farmland with a small pasture on the north.
|
The documentation form by Joe Schaufenbuel is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: Eastern Phoebe is larger and wags its tail. Empidonaxes are smaller with shorter wings and tail. Confusion with the Eastern Pewee is certain if plumage is used. Subtle differences in plumage were noted in my observation of the Western Pewee, when compared to my experience with the Eastern Pewee. The throat appeared whiter and contrasted more with the breast and head than a Eastern, also, as mentioned before, the color of the upper-parts appeared more grayish and not as green. Since the call was heard at close range, and having seen the vocalizing bird as well as my familiarity with the Western Pewee's call I believe the identification totally on voice is a valid one. | The original documentation form event lasted from 12:00:00/12:12:00.

Petersen is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: Eastern Wood-Pewee looks almost exactly like the Western, but the Western seemed a bit darker on the sides. The call of the Eastern is a clear whistle, totally different from this call. I spent an extra five minutes in an attempt to hear a second call from the Western but it flew away and did not call again. | The original documentation form event lasted from 07:55:00/08:00:00.
