Pine flycatcher explained
The pine flycatcher (Empidonax affinis) is a species of bird in the Tyrannidae and the tyrant flycatchers family.It is found in the montane tropical and subtropical coniferous forests of Mexico and southwestern Guatemala.[1] A vagrant bird found in the Santa Rita Mountains, Arizona, in late May 2016, was the first record north of Mexico.[2] (An erroneous 2009 record from Choke Canyon State Park in southern Texas[3] was later shown to be a misidentified Least Flycatcher.)[4]
