Ash-throated Flycatcher

This flycatcher nests from Central Texas to the Pacific Coast of southern Oregon as well as down through Mexico.

 

The Ash-throated FC favors woodlands, thickets, and desert habitats and does not need to drink water as it gains all moisture from the insects it eats. I found this bird in Terlingua, Texas in the desert where daytime temps were hitting 110 degrees Fahrenheit in late June. I took this image in the evening as this bird and its mate were perching on some rather gangly thickets near their nesting box.
