	flycatcher - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		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.

	Monarchs
		Yet the three groups of flycatchers are not closely related; the similar behaviors are an example of convergent evolution.
		Monarchs are often characterized by broad, flattened bills with a slightly hooked tip, a subterminal maxillary notch, rictal bristles and rounded nostrils (Sibley 1996).
		It is apparent, however, that monarchs reach their highest diversity in the Australasian and adjoining regions, with many species scattered throughout the Indonesian and Philippine islands, including birds which such wonderful names as the Cerulean Paradise-Flycatcher Eutrichomyias rowleyi and the recently rediscovered Celestial Monarch Hypothymis coelestis.

	EPA: Federal Register: Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Final Rule To Remove the Tinian Monarch From the ...
		The Tinian monarch (monarch) is a forest bird endemic to the island of Tinian in the Mariana archipelago in the western Pacific Ocean.
		The monarch was listed as endangered on June 2, 1970 (35 FR 8491), because its population was thought to be critically low due to the destruction of native forests by pre-World War II (WW II) agricultural practices, and by military activities during WWII.
		Since the classification of the monarch as endangered in 1970, surveys and studies in 1982, 1994 and 1995, and 1996 have shown the abundance and distribution of the monarch to be stable or increasing (Engbring et al.

	Removing Tinian Monarch from ESA Protection
		The Tinian monarch is a small (6-inch or 16-centimeter) flycatcher with light rufous underparts, olive-brown upperparts, dark brown wings and tail, and white rump and undertail coverts.
		A survey of the monarch population in 1982 found the population to number approximately 40,000 birds, and the species was subsequently downlisted to threatened status in 1987.
		The ability of the monarch to survive and thrive despite severe habitat modification is a testimony to the hardiness of this unique island bird, according to Fish and Wildlife Service biologists.

		Chris Filardi and Robert Moyle from the American Museum of Natural History’s Center for Biodiversity and Conservation recently used DNA data to reconstruct the evolutionary relationships among a group of birds called Monarch flycatchers.
		Forested coastlines such as this one often ring with the sweet whistles and burry trills of Monarch flycatchers.

		The Tinian monarch was removed from the list of threatened and endangered species on Sept. 21, 2004, based on a thorough review of all available information, which indicates that this species has increased in number or is stable and that the primary listing factor-loss of habitat-is no longer a major threat.
		This small six-inch bird is a member of the monarch flycatcher family, and has a light reddish chest and neck, olive brown back, dark brown wings and tail, white wind bars, white rump, and a white-tipped tail.
		A survey of the monarch population in 1982 found approximately 37,000 birds, and the species was subsequently downlisted to threatened.

	In Give and Take of Evolution, a Surprising Contribution From Islands - New York Times
		Filardi made this discovery by studying a group of Pacific island birds, known as monarch flycatchers, that were among the birds Mayr studied 80 years ago.
		In one lineage, the monarch flycatchers tripled their body size in less than a million years.
		Today monarch flycatchers and other island species are under serious threat from habitat loss and from rats and other animals introduced by humans.

		The Elepaio (Chasiempis sandwichensis) is a species of Monarch Flycatcher endemic to the Hawaiian Islands.
		Elepaio are fairly common and widely-distributed at higher elevations on the island of Hawaii and Kauai, but on Oahu their numbers have seriously declined in the last few decades, and they have disappeared from many areas where they were formerly common.

	Missoulian - UM scholar says islands are rich with new species
		In the Solomon Islands, east of New Guinea and northeast of Australia, lives the monarch flycatcher, a medium-size songbird, which is challenging the science world's understanding of evolution.
		Curious about how new species arrive on islands, Chris Filardi, a University of Montana visiting scholar, began gathering DNA samples from the flycatchers and reconstructing relationships between the birds on the islands and on the island's nearest continents.
		In the article, the scientist explain their testing shows that a large and diverse array of Monarch flycatchers resulted from a single radiation, involving nearly every major Pacific archipelago, suggesting major diversification occurred entirely within island settings.

		First of all, though the Hawaiian thrushes are close to Solitaires the latest thinking seems to be that it is Townsend's Solitaire, not the Andean ones, that they are closest to.
		Of the other native Hawaiian songbirds, the Millerbird is an Acrocephalus warbler of probable Asian origin and the Alala or Hawaiian Crow and the Elepaio, which is a monarch flycatcher, are Australasian in origin (the calls of the crow recall the calls of Australasian crows).
		Of the native Hawaiian birds perhaps the closest to North America is the Black-crowned Night Heron which belongs to the same subspecies, N. n.
