We were glad to find a pair of ash-throated flycatchers busy with nesting activities at NB 10b on June 26,2010. We saw adults carrying insects into the nest on June 26 and heard nestlings during our June 30 monitoring visit.
Jane, Carol and I were disappointed to find a dead ash-throated flycatcher during our July 22,2010 check of 10B. Photo by C. Sinsheimer shows Bev removing the body.
This July 22,2010 photo by C. Sinsheimer shows the body we found in 10B today. We don't know the cause of death. Ash-throated flycatchers generally lay 4-5 eggs so we hope that the others were more successful.
