A pale, cavity-nesting flycatcher of arid Texas Hill Country woodlands, featuring a soft ash-grey throat, pale yellow belly, and rufous-tinged tail feathers.
Field Identification: Pale grey chest and throat, yellow wash on belly, bushy crested head, and rich rusty rufous edging on tail and wing feathers.
Texas & Hill Country Notes: Ash-throated Flycatchers do not require drinking water; they satisfy 100% of their moisture needs from the insects and berries they eat. They nest inside natural tree hollows or nest boxes, lining their nests with fur, hair, and shed snake skins.
