1. I am Tyrannus tyrannus, with a white-tipped tail representing one of my key identification features.
2. I was once considered the same species as what is now known as the Pacific Slope Flycatcher.
3. I can often be seen in open country in the southern Great Plains, perched on barbed wire fences or other low perches.
4. I am Contopus sordidulus, a rather plain species of western North America in the summer months.
5. I have a small but reliable summer range in the U.S., and birders will often look for me in the wooded canyons of southern Arizona.
6. Unlike most flycatchers found in the United States, I actually am a permanent resident in many areas.
7. I am one of the small Empidonax flycatchers, and am a rather common migrant or summer resident in the eastern two-thirds of the U.S.
8. A very similar range to the species from question #6! I, however, am very easy to differentiate from that species.
9. I am most often seen when I'm singing my "quick-three-beers" song from the treetops.
10. I am a tropical flycatcher with an appearance unlike other North American flycatchers.
11. I am a common and often quite visible flycatcher, often seen hanging out on fences in the West.
12. I am similar to the other small Empidonax flycatchers, especially the Dusky Flycatcher.
13. I am Contopus virens, a rather plain species of the eastern United States in the summer.
14. I am Tyrannus vociferans, named after my loud, repetitive song I often sing in the morning.
15. I am most often found in the forest canopy of the eastern United States.
16. I am Empidonax flaviventris, and am one of the smallest Empidonax flycatchers.
17. And another small Empidonax flycatcher! Until the 1970s, my species and what's now the "Willow Flycatcher" were considered one species, the "Traill's Flycatcher".
18. I am Myiarchus cinerascens, a fairly common species of the arid West and Mexico.
19. I am a medium-sized flycatcher of western North America. I will often hang out around buildings, as well as use natural perches.
20. Unlike most the other small Empidonax flycatchers, most of my breeding range is in the lower 48 states, from coast to coast.
