Hammond's Flycatcher
Empidonax hammondii (Xántus, J, 1858)
Tyrannidae — Tyrant Flycatchers, Calyptura
Hammond's Flycatcher, Empidonax hammondii, breeds from Alaska through western Canada into the western USA and spends the non-breeding season from the south-western USA to Honduras. It is a flycatcher of the Tyrannidae family, found in coniferous and mixed forests across western North America. Its most useful identifying feature is its call, along with its breeding habitat and range, as it is easily confused with other Empidonax flycatchers. The species was named for William Alexander Hammond, who collected bird specimens for Spencer Fullerton Baird.
