Alder
Flycatcher Range Map
The Alder Flycatcher breeds from central Alaska
and central Yukon to central and eastern Quebec,
southern Labrador and southern Newfoundland,
south to south-central British Columbia and
southern Alberta, across to south-central
Minnesota, eastern Pennsylvania, and Connecticut;
also in the Appalachians south to western North
Carolina. It winters in South America. The Alder
Flycatcher typically inhabits northern alder
swamps, where it occupies a variety of habitats,
including thickets of aspen parkland. It is
usually found near water in dense, low, damp
thickets of alders, willows, sumacs, viburnum,
elderberries, and red-osier dogwood bordering
bogs, swamps, marshes, and along the banks of
small streams and shores of ponds.
