Brown-crested Flycatcher
Myiarchus tyrannulus
Burns Ranch, ½ mile SSE Red Springs, Lincoln Co., Nevada, Elevation,
3575 feet.
August 11 Having already pulled a couple ash-throated flycatchers
out of my notes here, and many others before elsewhere, I
didn't immediately recognize this bird as different as I
approached the net. Up close, the larger size and much
darker bill were apparent. I checked the tail pattern and
breast color against my National Geographic Field Guide to
North American Birds, and conclude that it is this species.
When I did have time, I took measurements using
a millimeter rule. My measurements:
bill length - 19.1 mm
bill height 8.0 mm
bill width 9.7 mm
wing chord 112 mm
tail 98 mm
