Myiarchus nuttingi (Nutting's Flycatcher)

Language: Spanish

Wikipedia Abstract

Nutting's flycatcher, Myiarchus nuttingi, is a passerine bird in the tyrant flycatcher family. It breeds in semi-arid desert scrub and tropical deciduous forest from western Mexico to northwest Costa Rica. It is normally a year-round resident, but has been known as an occasional vagrant to southern California and Arizona–(southeastern, central, and western), in the United States. The nest is built in a tree cavity or similar natural or man-made hole, and the normal clutch is three to five eggs. The name of this bird commemorates the zoologist Charles Cleveland Nutting.
