MY EDMONDS NEWS Posted: April 21, 2021 Hammond’s Flycatchers in Edmonds. (Photos by Carol Riddell)
There is a genus of drab flycatchers called Empidonax, a word that means king of the gnats. The genus has eleven species that spend time in the United States. The Hammond’s Flycatcher, which belongs to the genus, is uncommon in Edmonds. It passes through during spring migration and can be seen or heard usually from mid-April through mid-May. A few may pass back through in southbound migration, but they tend to be silent. Yost Park is a good location for encountering this flycatcher although it could stop to rest and forage anywhere in the city, including at the other forested parks and the marsh.
