Western Wood Pewee
Pewees (Contopus spp.) are medium-sized flycatchers in the family Tyrannidae, best known for their upright posture, grayish plumage, and plaintive whistled calls. In Arizona, four species are regularly recorded, ranging from widespread breeders to uncommon migrants.
Western Wood-Pewee (Contopus sordidulus)
The most common pewee in Arizona.
Greater Pewee (Contopus pertinax)
A specialty of the Sky Islands in southeastern Arizona.
Eastern Wood-Pewee (Contopus virens)
Though primarily an eastern species, the Eastern Wood-Pewee is a rare but regular migrant and occasional vagrant in Arizona.
Tropical Pewee (Contopus cinereus)
Extremely rare in the United States, the Tropical Pewee has been documented only a few times in Arizona
