April 19, 2017 in the Chiricahua Mountains
and Cave Creek Area
A Hutton's Vireo with a large meal.
None of today's photos are going to win any prizes. Here is my FOS Hermit
Warbler.
Hammond's Flycatcher. Very difficult to get it in good light and good angle.
Note the small bill, short tailed appearance, long wing projection. This is the
first time I've been able to photograph a Hammond's Flycatcher. This species is
difficult to separate from the Dusky Flycatcher.
A view from below, showing the right wingtip projecting past the tail
coverts. The left wing is being held higher.
Small bill, short tail, long wingtips. Pumps its tail up.
Brown-crested Flycatcher, note the huge bill.
