The Grey Silky-flycatcher, known scientifically as Ptiliogonys cinereus, is a charming bird species belonging to the Ptiliogonatidae family. It presents a sleek appearance with its silky plumage predominantly in shades of grey.

Identification Tips

When attempting to identify this species, look for its distinctive grey coloration, which is the hallmark of the Grey Silky-flycatcher. The bird's overall plumage is a soft grey, which can be observed across its range.

Habitat

The Grey Silky-flycatcher is typically found in montane forests, where it frequents both mesic and xeric environments. It is also known to inhabit adjacent scrublands, demonstrating a preference for the varied landscapes within its altitude range.

Distribution

This species is primarily seen within the bounds of Guatemala and Mexico. However, there have been occasional sightings of vagrant individuals in the southern United States, hinting at its potential for wider dispersal.

We've been waiting for an App like this
Excellent! We've been waiting for an app like this! Thank you! It would be nice if you could assign additional birds to sessions later!

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.

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.

Birding and wellbeing app
Birda is an excellent platform to share your love of Birding and is a great tool of encouragement for a Birding Beginner like me. Birda has a very kind and supportive community of Birding enthusiasts. For me BIRDA is not only a BIRDING but also a WELLBEING App.

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.

I love this app! It’s a wonderful way to track birding sessions, and also connect you with fellow birders. I also really like the unidentified bird section, it’s a great community tool to help figure out what a never-before-seen bird is!
