On January 17, 2012 I ventured back out to the Colorado River, Bill Williams Delta to look again for the Nutting’s Flycatcher first discovered by David Vander Pluym and Lauren Harter back in December. This time around I heard it within 30 seconds of stepping out of the car and had it in view in just a couple of minutes. I spent the next 45 minutes looking and listening as the bird caught some morning sun, gradually working its way northeast along the road. At times, it flew within a few feet of me. At times it was quite vocal too. Attached are photos and a recording from the morning. This was my third sighting of this species in the ABA area, and my second for Arizona.
