Nutting’s Flycatcher

By Biól. Jesús Ángel Barajas Fragoso

Nutting’s Flycatcher

This bird from the Tyrannidae family weighs around 28 grams, is diurnal and omnivorous, but gets its name from its peculiar ability to catch flies.


They live 9 to 11 years and live in forests and jungles from northwest Mexico to Costa Rica and are rare in the Southeastern United States. This photograph shows the Nutting’s flycatcher more tufted than usual in a slightly uncomfortable situation, as it invaded the branch of a very territorial hummingbird that was bothered by its presence.
