Subject: Re: [AZNMbirds] Piratic or Variegated Flycatcher at Base & Meridian (Maricopa)
This is interesting! I have observed Piratic Flycatchers many times in the
Neotropics and the first photo gave me flashbacks of some of those moments,
with the bird almost always perched on treetops.

I do not have experience with Variegated Flycatchers, so I have no basis to
compare them.
