Unaccepted Records

One (1987-067) on 25 December 1987, Jefferson Davis: 4 mi. S Elton. All Members believed the details (including no description of the tail pattern) were inadequate for confirming the identification. Ash-throated Flycatcher was removed from the Review List 7 September 1996.

Two (1994-174) on 26 December 1994, Evangeline: Miller�s Lake. Two birds reported together during a CBC were likely this species based on probability. However, the description provided was insufficient to confirm Ash-throated versus other species of Myiarchus.

One (1991-40) on 30 Nov 1991, Cameron: W of East Jetty Woods and S of the town of Cameron. The Committee agreed that the details were not adequate for acceptance beyond �Myiarchus sp.� The tail pattern was not observed, and the bird "got away" before it could be carefully studied.

Two (1991-054) on 29 December 1991, Plaquemines: � mi. NW Fort Jackson. This report was from a very experienced observer and included photos of one individual. However, Members were divided as to whether or not the description and photos were diagnostic for Ash-throated, and some Members were not convinced that Brown-crested Flycatcher was convincingly eliminated. Ultimately, the report was not accepted.

Two (1992-49) on 11 Jan 1992, Plaquemines: 1 mi. W of Fort Jackson. This was a follow-up sighting of individuals first reported on 29 Dec 1991 (Venice CBC); NAB46(2):278. Unfortunately, the description is rudimentary and does not describe tail pattern, bill proportions, or voice, and there is also simply not enough information to conclude that this sighting actually pertained to the same birds reported previously.

One (1994-03) on 2 Jan 1994, Plaquemines: woods near Fort Jackson. The tail pattern was not seen and the described calls were more suggestive of Brown-crested Flycatcher.

At least two (1994-01) on 15 Jan 1994, Plaquemines: woods near Fort Jackson; NASFN48(2):217. The smaller subspecies of Brown-crested (M. tyrannulus cooperi), when seen directly or indirectly in comparison to the larger and heavier-billed western subspecies (M. t. magister), could be mistaken for an Ash-throated Flycatcher. And, interestingly, both subspecies of Brown-crested (but no Ash-throateds) were found at this location on 26 Jan 1994 (S. W. Cardiff and D. L. Dittmann; see LBRC record nos. 1984-82, 1984-83, 1984-84, 1984-85; Dittmann et al. 1998). Also, although Myiarchus can move from patch to patch of habitat, these woods are not particularly suitable habitat for more scrub-preferring Ash-throateds. Within this circumstantial framework, the Committee ultimately considered the description inadequate.
