Myiarchus flycatcher, Roxborough SP

[Scott Somershoe]

Passing along some info.  Peter Pereira posted a photo to a Cornell Bird Facebook page asking for ID of a Myiarchus flycatcher from Roxborough SP, Douglas Co., and the photo was taken yesterday (11/17/15).  Looks more brown-crested than ash-throated (because of back color), but there's just one photo available so far and it is fairly small, even on a large monitor. I'm not saying what it is from this one little image!  

We don't know where the bird was actually found, but the bird was perched in a juniper with snow on it.  I guess this could be brown-crested from Chatfield Botanical Gardens from a few weeks ago, but who knows.  Birds fly.  I'm guessing as more info is available, it'll be posted here, but Sean Walters and I wanted to get the word out.  Wish I could go looking around!

Good birding,

Folks,

I spoke to Peter Pereira.  The myiarchus photographed yesterday was just outside the arboretum at Chatfield, now known as the Denver Botanical Garden.  I and others suspect this is a Brown-crested Flycatcher, likely the same one from 3 weeks ago (see Mark Chavez's posts).  Should you happen to see this bird, call 720 560 3671 immediately!
