In life, the Pewee can best be distingnished from the larger Phoebe, with which it it often confounded, by its sad, plaintive pe-ah-wee, pee-wee, which is strik- ingly different from the brusque call of the Phoebe.

L&e the other flycatchers they always perch on dead twigs, where their view is as little obstructed as possible. Kot
