Description
Ash-throated Flycatcher (Myiarchus cinerascens) ready to feed a Painted Lady (Cynthia cardui) butterfly to its nestlings at Usery mountain Regional Park near Mesa, Arizona.
This pale flycatcher is common and widespread in arid country of the west. Like its close relatives, it nests in holes in trees. However, because it lives in dry terrain where trees are often small or scarce, it will resort to other sites; nests have been found in such odd places as exhaust pipes, hollow fence posts, mailboxes, and even in trousers hanging on a clothesline.
