Corey Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 From my bird haul this morning I can't seem to identify this last one. Looking through references in southern Nevada I just don't see it. This wikipedia photo of a willow flycatcher seems to match https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willow_flycatcher Photo taken today in Henderson, NV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Friedman Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 By the way, if you do see a Willow Flycatcher at this time of year, it's probably a migrant of the subspecies that nests farther north, not a Southwestern Willow Flycatcher. Local birders might be able to tell you what time of year you can be certain that a Willow Flycatcher is Southwestern. (Here in New Mexico, I've heard that it's only July, but I don't know whether that's true.) if you see one nesting or recently fledged in southern Nevada, it would also have to be Southwestern. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
