[Birdtalk] Ash-throated Flycatcher...

[Bill Hunter]

I responded to Dave Jensen with the following which may be of interest:

"FYI - Don't be too quick to say that people weren't keeping records  
back in the '80's. Myself, as President of Utah Audubon, Josh Burns,  
Merrill Webb, Mark Leppert, Larry Malone, Steve Hedges and many more  
did extensive birding in Salt Lake, Davis and surrounding counties.

As for Ash-throated Flycatcher in Salt Lake, in the" Utah Bird  
Distribution: Latilong Study - 1983" It lists the ATFL as being  
present in all northern Latilongs except Logan, Fish springs, Delta  
and Manti. "Summer Resident (breeding documented)" was in  in Lucin,  
Tremonton, Wendover, Salt Lake City - Provo and Vernal Latilongs. The  
rest were just "Summer Resident (breeding not documented)".

My only record outside of Washington County is Green River in Grand  
County; 6/1/82.

More than you wanted know, huh?"
