Ash-throated Flycatcher (Myiarchus cinerascens)
Above and below: An Ash-throated Flycatcher on Assateague Island, Maryland (11/28/2010). Found by Joe Hanfman on 11/27 and enjoyed by a dozen or so others on 11/28. It was quite cooperative as it fed low along scrubby edges. I've wanted to see this western U.S. species in Maryland for so long that I've literally had a recurring dream about finding one (which ends with me lying in bed, half-asleep, justifying why I should be able to count it).
Below: An Ash-throated Flycatcher continuing on Assateague Island, Maryland (12/5/2010). This rare western vagrant was found by Joe Hanfman on 11/27 and has been easily the most cooperative Ash-throated Flycatcher to date in Maryland.
