The Southwestern Willow Flycatcher (Empidonax traillii extimus) is an endangered "Empid" that breeds in the riparian Willow/Cottonwood/Salt Cedar thickets. This pair was recorded along the Verde River near Camp Verde in central Arizona on 5/30/98. If you hear this easily distinguished "Fitz-bew" song, please let me know. This bird is a victim of Cowbird parasitism and habitat reduction and is on its last legs!
A Thicket (formerly Fulvous-bellied) Antpitta (Hylopezus dives) sings, hidden in the dense understory (where they feel comfortable) at La Selva (Costa Rica), 6/19/99.
