Where does eastern Wood-pewee usually live?
Their breeding habitat is deciduous, mixed woods, or pine plantations in eastern North America. These birds migrate to Central America and in the Andes region of northern South America. They feed on insects and other arthropods. Wood pewees wait on a perch at a middle height in a tree and fly out to catch prey in flight, sometimes hovering to pick it from vegetation. Eastern wood pewees arrive relatively late on breeding grounds (e.g., 18 May to 5 June in southern Ontario).
