		Flycatchers vary in color from drab to brilliant, as in the crested monarch and paradise flycatchers of Asia and Africa.
		The tails are rounded or shallowly forked, except for that of the scissor-tailed flycatcher of the SW United States, a gray bird with fl wings and tail and reddish patches at the wing base, whose long (7–10 in./17.5–25 cm), deeply forked tail enables it to perform aerial acrobatics.
		The nesting habits of flycatchers vary; the typical nest is an open cup in a tree, but some nest on buildings and in concealed places, and the great crested flycatcher of E North America is a cavity-nester that habitually lines its nest with cast snake skins.

	Least Flycatcher
		The Least Flycatcher feeds mainly on flying insects, most of which are caught on the wing, but some are gleaned from vegetation and also eats a few fruits and seeds.
		The Least Flycatcher breeds from southern Yukon east to central Quebec and Maritime Provinces and south to Wyoming, Indiana and New Jersey and south in the mountains to North Carolina.
		The Least Flycatcher is widely distributed in open country, nesting in shade trees and orchards in villages and city parks, along rural roadsides and woodland borders.

	Spotted Flycatcher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Spotted Flycatcher, Muscicapa striata, is a small passerine bird in the Old World flycatcher family.
		The exception to this are the hosts of the Common Cuckoo, which have had to evolve this skill as a protection against that nest parasite.
		Spotted Flycatcher shows excellent egg recognition, and it is likely that it was once a host of the Cuckoo, but became so good at recognising the intruder's eggs that it ceased to be victimised.

	Pacific-slope Flycatcher - VWS BSOL Featured Bird (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Pacific-slope Flycatcher is one of several very similar-looking birds called Empidonax flycatchers.
		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.

	Southwestern Willow Flycatcher Research Needs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Such a system will enable managers and researchers to (1) understand the ecosystem and landscape aspects of flycatcher distribution and habitat use, (2) effectively monitor what sites have been surveyed (to avoid duplication of effort), (3) determine where future efforts should be directed, and (4) develop a management tool for evaluating and implementing habitat conservation.
		Currently, flycatcher habitat is measured and quantified differently by various researchers and agencies, making detection of general patterns and comparisons among sites difficult.
		Management and recovery of the flycatcher should be guided, in part, by an understanding of current population genetics at local and regional scales in order to preserve maximum genetic diversity.

	Coveside Flycatcher Houses
		Flycatchers are known for using the skins shed by snakes in making their nests.
		Both species of flycatcher migrate to Mexico and Central America. Their populations are threatened today by the loss of rain forests in these areas which are their winter homes.
		The flycatcher prefers open areas adjacent to woodlands. Place the nest box on a tree or post near an open area, between 6 and 20 feet above the ground.

	Tyrant flycatcher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The tyrant flycatchers are a large family of passerine birds which occur throughout North and South America, but are mainly tropical in distribution.
		They superficially resemble the Old World flycatchers, but are more robust with stronger bills.
		They are members of suborder Tyranni (suboscines) and so do not have the sophisticated vocal capabilities of the songbirds.

	Birds and All Nature: A Quarrel Between Jenny Wren and the Flycatchers
		Jenny usually showed no animosity toward her neighbor; but one spring, while nest-building was in progress, she suddenly seemed to have decided that the flycatcher's abode was in too close proximity to her own domicile and deliberately invaded the flycatcher's domains and dumped the materials of his nest on the walk beneath the tree.
		When the flycatcher returned the air was filled with his protests, while the wren saucily and defiantly answered him from the roof of her own dwelling.
		Certainly the flycatcher was still on guard, but the wrens went about their work and did not molest the flycatchers except at long intervals.

	Southwestern willow flyatcher - empidonax trallii extimus - Center for Biological Diversity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Those breeding areas that support the largest number of flycatchers are in peril from fires, water projects, livestock grazing and replacement of native habitats by introduced plant species.
		Attracted to an abundance of water and dense vegetation, large flycatcher populations have congregated at reservoirs such as Lake Mead on the Colorado River and Lake Roosevelt on the Salt River.
		Given the critical status of the flycatcher and ongoing threats to its habitat, the Center will be involved in the fight to save the southwestern willow flycatcher and the riparian habitats it depends on for decades to come.

	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.
		Olive-sided flycatchers winter primarily in the mountains of Central and South America (Peterson and Fichtel 1992).
		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".

	Southpinellas: Catching the flycatcher
		Marjorie Wilkinson of St. Petersburg said the flycatcher was being harassed over the weekend by a Cooper's hawk and might have left.
		But when the flycatcher would disappear and turn up elsewhere in the neighborhood, the scramble to catch up with it was described by John Puschock, who drove more than two hours from Eustis, as resembling "the start of the race at Le Mans."
		Wilkinson said there is no way of knowing for sure how the flycatcher got here, but it is a snowbird, migrating north this time of year to get clear of winter in the southern hemisphere.

	The Birdhouse Network - Ash-throated Flycatcher
		Ash-throated Flycatchers are fairly common, and in some places quite abundant, throughout most of the western United States and Mexico.
		Ash-throated Flycatchers also glean prey items, such as mites, millipedes, worms, and spiders from the ground and tree bark, and they occasionally eat small fruits and berries.
		Ash-throated Flycatchers migrate at the end of the breeding season to Mexico and as far south as northeastern Costa Rica.

	The Scissortail Flycatcher
		Flycatchers are visible in North America only in the summer months, breeding in the southwest regions of the country.
		It is not uncommon to spot hybrids of the Scissortail Flycatcher and the Eastern Kingbird.
		All flycatchers feed upon their prey in the same manner; they sit quietly on their perch waiting for a meal to fly by.

	Great Crested Flycatcher
		Tyrant flycatchers range in size from 2.5 inches long to 12 inches long, and occupy habitats ranging from deserts, mangrove swamps and lowland rainforests up to the high altitude, treeless Páramo and Puna of the Andes Mountains.
		The Great Crested Flycatcher is a woodland bird often seen quietly perched on an exposed branch or utility line, and sallying forth to snatch flying insects.
		The spring arrival of these flycatchers is often signaled when we first hear its loud, musical whreeeep (with an upward inflection) from high in a tree top.

	Hammond's Flycatcher description
		Flycatchers of the genus Empidonax (which means, "king of the gnats") are extremely difficult to identify by plumage.
		Descriptions: Hammond's Flycatchers occur chiefly in dense boreal forests of spruce, birch and aspen and may nest at elevations up to 11,000 ft. However, in interior Alaska, they are often associated the deciduous component of the boreal forest.
		Nests: These flycatchers build their cup-shaped nests on horizontal limbs of tall coniferous trees, although an occasional deciduous tree may be used (aspen).

	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.

	Birds - Yellow-bellied Flycatcher
		This is the most yellow of the small flycatchers and the only Eastern species with a yellow instead of a white throat.
		It is rare in the Middle States, not common even in New England, except in the migrations, but from the Canada border northward its soft, plaintive whistle, which is its love-song, may be heard in every forest where it nests.
		All the flycatchers seem to make a noise with so much struggle, such convulsive jerkings of head and tail, and flutterings of the wings that, considering the scanty success of their musical attempts, it is surprising they try to lift their voices at all when the effort almost literally lifts them off their feet.

	PMA - The distribution and habitat preferences of the "Western Flycatcher" in Alberta
		The Western Flycatcher complex breeds from southwestern Alaska south to southwestern California and from southwestern Alberta, through Wyoming and South Dakota to Arizona and northern California (DeGraaf and Rappole 1995).
		In Alberta, the "Western Flycatcher" is closely associated with slopes, cliffs and canyons especially near creeks and rivers (McGillivray and Semenchuk 1998, Doug Leighton, pers.
		Support for the presence of the Pacific-slope Flycatcher in Alberta is based on a 1993 manuscript (Richard Cannings and Eugene Hunn unpubl.) which argues that vocalizations of "Western Flycatchers" in the interior of British Columbia and the Alberta Rocky Mountains identify these birds as Pacific-slope forms.
