While birding at Nickajack today in Marion county, I saw and photographed an
Ash-throated Flycatcher. I took the Hale town exit and drove toward the dam. On
the left side of the hwy. is a small lake which has water flowing into it from
the main body of the river. Just past the lake is a small roadside park where
people usually go to watch the bats which reside in a cave beside the park. The
gate is usually locked to this park. Today it was open so I drove into the
park, turned right and stopped beside a large picnic shelter. Several Eastern
Wood Pewees were in the trees along with other Neotropical migrants. The
Ash-throated Flycatcher was among the birds staying close to the ground as it
perched or fed. I believe it is an immature bird because the tail feathers are
all uneven in length and I did not see a dark tip on the tail which indicates
an adult. It did not vocalize.
