A widespread and adaptable tyrant flycatcher, the Brown-crested Flycatcher is found across diverse habitats from the southwestern US to South America. It is recognized by its strong vocalizations and slightly crested appearance.
Where to spot
Breeds from the southwestern United States south through Mexico and Central America to much of South America, wintering south of the US. Found in dry to humid woodlands, riparian forests, and thorny scrub.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, often harsh 'WHIT!' call or a series of rapid 'wheer' notes. Look for its overall grayish-brown plumage with a prominent crest, rufous in the wings and tail, and a pale yellow belly.
When to spot
Year-round resident in most of its tropical and subtropical range. Migratory in its northernmost breeding grounds, present spring through summer. Active during morning and late afternoon.
