Spotted
A widespread and familiar North American flycatcher, the Ash-throated Flycatcher is known for its relatively drab plumage but distinctive voice. It prefers dry, open woodlands and scrub.
Where to spot
Breeds across western North America, from southern Canada to Mexico, and winters from the southwestern US to Central America. Found in dry forests, oak woodlands, pinyon-juniper, and desert scrub.
How to spot
Look for it perched upright on branches in dry, open habitats. Listen for its characteristic 'ka-BRICK' or 'wit-wi-doo' calls. Note its pale throat, yellowish belly, and rufous in the wings and tail.
When to spot
Most easily observed during the breeding season (spring and summer) when they are vocal and establishing territories. Can be seen year-round in parts of its wintering range.

This flycatcher is a secondary cavity nester, meaning it relies on existing holes, often old woodpecker nests, for its nesting sites.
