First of the little Flycatchers

While doing the rounds today I saw and heard a Western Wood-Pewee (96) in the neighbours yard. I'm amazed at their nest locations. They like to build their nest towards the end of a vertical branch, well away from the trunk and fairly open. They rely on the making the nest look like part of the branch with spider webs and gray coloured material. 

Here's an example of a nest I found in the Pend O'reille area a few summers ago.
