Nutting's flycatcher

Myiarchus nuttingi

Nutting's flycatcher (Myiarchus nuttingi) is a medium-sized passerine bird found in the southwestern United States and Mexico. It is known for its distinctive call and perching behavior. This species is often found in open woodlands, riparian areas, and scrublands, where it forages for insects by sallying from a perch and returning to the same or a nearby perch. Nutting's flycatcher is known for its olive-brown upperparts, yellowish underparts, and a distinctive white eye ring. It is a vocal species, often heard before it is seen. Like many flycatchers, it plays an important role in controlling insect populations in its habitat.
