White-throated Flycatcher

Empidonax albigularis

The White-throated Flycatcher, scientifically known as Empidonax albigularis, is a member of the Tyrannidae family. This small bird is distinguished by its subtle yet charming plumage.

Identification Tips

When attempting to identify the White-throated Flycatcher, look for its defining characteristic: a pristine white throat that stands out against its overall muted tones. The bird's compact body and small size are typical of the Empidonax genus.

Habitat

The White-throated Flycatcher is known to inhabit subtropical or tropical moist shrubland. It is also found in areas that were once forests but have since been heavily degraded.

Distribution

This species has a broad range across Central America. It can be spotted in Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panama.

Behaviour

Observations of the White-throated Flycatcher reveal a bird that is well-adapted to its environment, making the most of the shrubland and degraded forest areas it calls home.

Conservation status

The IUCN Red List has classified the White-throated Flycatcher as Least Concern, indicating that, for now, the species does not face an immediate threat of extinction.

A great app
Enjoying it immensely and finding it useful too. Recording the different birds and counting them is showing me how the present climate is affecting them all. I've trebled the numbers by planting native hedging. A great app.

My favourite app
As a young birdwatcher who was always keen to be apart of a community but never seemed to find one, my problem was solved downloading this!!! Everyone is so friendly and just as excited to see birds as me 😁

Makes you want to spot birds more
I think this app is fun. It makes you want to spot birds more so I guess in a way it encourages you to get out and about instead of sitting in front of the TV.

Great app for learning Birds
I’ve been using the app for a couple of months and love it....Someone said it’s like a real life Pokémon Go for birds. They’re not far off! It’s something that the family can do that gets you out and about. Well worth downloading no matter your age.

Gets me outdoors more
I'm still loving this app. I use it most days & gets me outdoors more. Enjoying watching others progress and photo's, it's improved my wellbeing.... I love this app! I can keep a record of sightings and see what others have seen too.

Really great app
It’s easy to use and it’s fun to log the birds you notice on a walk or just in your garden. There’s a option to record the birds you see in a session which is really nice. Good excuse to stop for a while and just watch birds. I am also enjoying the information part where you can find out fact about birds from all over the world.
