POETRY / EPHEMERA
A memory device from birding lore, Empid Mnemonics is composed of five North American Flycatcher songs to relearn each spring and summer. These Empidonax flycatchers endearingly (or maddeningly) distinguish themselves by voice. Alder asking, "rreeBEEa," Willow answering, "RITZbew." Acadian, "spit-a-KEET!" They are otherwise notoriously difficult to tell apart.
