Banding though the only place I know of that does regular banding is the Rio Mesa Station on the Dolored River in southeast Utah. Bringing this up I totally forgot that they banded a couple PSFL in 2011 of which records were submitted and rejected by the UBRC. I don't know the reason for the rejection, but given the timing, and thoughts fromt his post, I think we can assume these birds were indeed PSFL.Tim Averyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17632013488170310609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954081165153280225.post-42412342268188448852015-02-13T08:28:08.489-07:002015-02-13T08:28:08.489-07:00Do you know of any banding or research for this/th...Do you know of any banding or research for this/these species in Utah?Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954081165153280225.post-8516031023397587852015-02-11T09:51:54.501-07:002015-02-11T09:51:54.501-07:00@Anonymous:

If 99% of lowland reports of Westerns from Nevada and Arizona are Pac-slopes based of vocalizations, or general consensus among birders, I think its safe to assume the same at least about the birds in southwest Utah. Vocalizing is obviously the safest bet, but I think we can infer things based off this other infromation.Tim Averyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17632013488170310609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954081165153280225.post-47746429162197733302015-02-11T09:40:42.487-07:002015-02-11T09:40:42.487-07:00I don't think you can really call it one way o...I don't think you can really call it one way or another based on this information. Isn't "Western" Flycatcher Species the only safe way to call it? Every low land western could very well be a pacific, but without vocalizations most are probably unidentifiable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
