Hammond's Flycatcher (Empidonax hammondii) (1) CONFIRMED
- Reported Apr 07, 2025 09:57 by Kevin Zimmer
- Queen Bee Rd-Chester Spring, San Luis Obispo, California
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&<q...>,-120.2298126&<ll...>,-120.2298126 - Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S224203569 - Media: 9 Photos
- Comments: "Empidonax flycatcher with short, narrow bill (borderline kinglet appearance); moderately long primary projection); gray sides of the head and throat; vested look to chest and flanks, with pale yellowish wash to lower abdomen (not nearly as yellowish in tone as a Western Flycatcher, and with a much smaller bill); whitish eye ring broader at rear, more flattened above the eye. Bill shorter than would be typical for the even rarer Dusky Flycatcher, and primary projection longer (extending ca. 1/3 the length of the tail). Photos to follow."
