Those Pesky Empids! Fun Mnemonic Shirt Design

August 24, 2024 in Original Designs: Birders & Birding

It may be the dead of winter now, but spring migration will be here before you know it. Get ready by learning your Empidonax flycatchers. You'll have to put time into learning their calls, because learning their field marks may prove useless in a lot of cases. And during the spring, you can bet they'll be singing!

This handy and funny mnemonic design lists the most pesky Empids: Alder Flycatcher, Least Flycatcher, Willow Flycatcher, Acadian Flycatcher, and Yellow-bellied Flycatcher. Get these down in time and you won't have to list any Empidonax sp. the entire year! Just remember ALWAY, or wear this shirt on your spring birding trips to keep them straight.

Shown here on a unisex sweatshirt, this fun birder design is available on a variety of different apparel styles and other gift items. See some more ideas below.
