	European Pied Flycatcher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pied Flycatcher, Ficedula hypoleuca, is a small passerine bird in the Old World flycatcher family.
		It is therefore a much earlier spring migrant than the more aerial Spotted Flycatcher, and its loud rhythmic and melodious song is characteristic of oak woods in spring.
		The very similar Atlas Flycatcher, Ficedula speculigera, of the mountains of north west Africa was formerly classed as subspecies of Pied.

	SDNHM Focus on the Ash-throated Flycatcher and Its Relatives
		The belly of the juvenile Ash-throated Flycatcher is a little paler yellow than the adult's, and the flimsier texture of the juvenile's feathers may be evident in a close view.
		In the Anza-Borrego Desert the Ash-throated Flycatcher shadows the Ladder-backed Woodpecker, using the woodpecker's holes in the stalks of Agave deserti and the trunks of Yucca schidigera.
		Thus west of the Colorado the Brown-crested Flycatcher may depend largely on man-made cavities—the pair at Covington Park in Morongo Valley nested in the horizontal metal pipe of the swing set.

	Las Vegas SUN:
		Atlas estimated it would cost $20 million simply to put an earthen cap on the pile.
		In Atlas' case, 56 percent of the mine's uranium was sold to the government, meaning the DOE will pay for 56 percent of the cleanup.
		We are concerned there wasn't sufficient bonding there when the NRC was working with Atlas prior to the bankruptcy filing and we've raised that issue with the NRC for a number of years," said Dianne Nielson, executive director of the Department of Environmental Quality.

		In the first Atlas, 210 species were observed and 180 were confirmed to be nesting at the end of the six-year project.
		Atlas workers also have reported some 30 'species of special concern' including least bittern, sedge wren, fl tern, Swainson's thrush, dickcissel, yellow-bellied flycatcher, bald eagle, peregrine falcon, osprey and fl-crowned night heron.
		Success in getting to the finish line, and the quantity and quality of data collected during the second Atlas will be directly influenced by the number of volunteers who participate, especially covering blocks in rural Pennsylvania, and their enthusiasm.

		It is quite difficult to tell different species of Empidonax flycatchers apart: in fact the Pacific-slope Flycatcher used to be known as the Western Flycatcher until that species was split in two.
		Pacific-slope Flycatchers are neotropical migrants that breed within North America and winter from Mexico to northern South America.

	BirdForum - Atlas or Iberiae Pied Flycatcher?
		Adult males are diagnosably distinct on the basis of rump colour, size of forehead patch, extent of white on secondaries and tertials, and extent of white on outer tail feathers.
		We recommend that Atlas Flycatcher F. speculigera should be separated from Pied Flycatcher F. hypoleuca, but that the Iberian form retains its subspecific status as F. hypoleuca iberiae.
		It is recommended that the population of fl-and-white flycatchers breeding in the Atlas Mountains and adjacent areas of NW Africa is treated as a separate species Ficedula speculigera, the Atlas Flycatcher.

		The Atlas was the culmination of the volunteer-based Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas Project undertaken during the period 1981 through 1985.
		Atlas maps are dynamic, however, both because species nesting ranges are dynamic over long time periods and because new data are continuously becoming available that improve our knowledge about the breeding distribution of these species in the province.
		The first of its kind in Canada, the "Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Ontario" provides a picture of the distribution of the province's nearly 300 species of nesting birds during the early 1980s.

	2nd Pennsylvania Breeding Bird Atlas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Atlas of Breeding Birds in Pennsylvania, published in 1992, is a landmark publication about the state’s nesting species.
		Some of these volunteers helped additionally as regional coordinators for the first atlas, and several of these were among the authors of the nearly 200 species accounts in the book.
		Pennsylvania Breeding Bird Atlas (2004-2008) is to provide even more comprehensive and updated information about the state’s nesting birds—information that also will be published in book form upon completion of the project—the original atlas always will be an exemplary reference to Pennsylvania’s birds.

		Tree Swallow: The atlas recorded the initial stages of the spread from Tidewater areas across the state but field work in Baltimore and Carroll Counties was done before the birds moved in.
		Cedar Waxwing: We were unprepared at the beginning of the atlas to get a large number of reports from the Coastal Plain but by the second year it was obvious the species had spread into the region in numbers.
		I think the evidence is overwhelming that not only is it time to start a new atlas, but that we will hardly have time in the five years of field work to answer all the questions that have emerged since the first one.

		The Spotted flycatcher is an insectivorous summer migrant which utilises open wooded habitats, large gardens and parks as nesting habitat.
		The UK population estimate derived from the New Breeding Bird Atlas is 120,000 territories which represents only a quarter of the estimate in the first Atlas.
		Firm data on the importance of this for Spotted flycatcher is lacking, but there is growing evidence that a range of birds found on lowland farmland are affected by low invertebrate availability during the summer.

	Olive-sided Flycatcher Habitat Model
		Olive-sided flycatcher breeding range extends from Newfoundland, west to Alaska, south to California and along the mountain ranges of the West to Arizona.
		Altman and Sallabanks (2000) note that the association of olive-sided flycatchers with water may be due to higher insect abundance in these areas, and that association of the birds with water bodies or wetlands "is particularly true in boreal forest in the northern portion of (their) breeding range".
		In Arizona, Idaho and the northern Rocky Mountains, olive-sided flycatchers have been found to be more abundant in partially logged forests, whether group-cut or selectively cut to remove larger trees of marketable size, thus thinning the overstory, than in either unharvested or clear-cut units (Altman and Sallabanks 2000).

	Acadian Flycatcher Species Account - Florida Breeding Bird Atlas
		The Acadian Flycatcher is found in deciduous forests from southern Ontario to central Florida and west to eastern Oklahoma and south Texas.
		Nests are frail (Terres 1980) and built by the females in a fork near the end of a branch, 1 to 6 m (4 to 20 ft) high.
		Comparing the Atlas map with the map in Howell (1932) suggests little change in the distribution of this species in Florida in the past 50 years, except for the lack of records in Hernando and Osceola counties during the Atlas period.

		The BTO Migration Atlas, published in December 2002, is a comprehensive summary of the movements of bird species that visit Britain and Ireland.
		The Migration Atlas brings together all the information from the BTO ring recoveries database and combines it with other sources of information on movements to produce a comprehensive reference book.
		The Migration Atlas project is a ‘taking stock’ exercise, to ensure that gaps in current knowledge are recognised and the means of filling these gaps are identified.

		Three levels of breeding status are depicted on the distribution maps- confirmed (as evidenced by occupied nest, fledged young, used nest, distraction display, etc.), probable (agitated behavior, probable nest site, courtship behavior, etc.) and possible (singing male in suitable nesting habitat, presence in suitable nesting habitat).

	Questions About the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In a 1995 ruling, the Service found that the flycatcher population was currently very low and faced a significant threat of extinction unless protected.
		The overall flycatcher population has clearly declined in the last century, is currently very small and fragmented, and some small populations have been lost in the last 10 years.
		With effective protection of the flycatcher and its remaining breeding habitat, combined with restoration and enhancement of southwestern riparian systems, the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher may recover and continue as a valuable component of our riparian ecosystems.
