Sue Bishop: Wonderful. Boy! You really get around for those rarities! Congratulations!
BrianMorin: This was one not to be missed. This 'Old World' flycatcher seems out of place in North America so it is a real treat when one shows up.

Details: male, adult

This is one of the most widespread Passerine species in the world, with a fascinating migration pattern that I was lucky enough to study during my PhD. The Moroccan subspecies seebohmi is sometimes considered to be a separate species. It has a black throat (not so the other subspecies). They breed in the Atlas mountains of North Africa.
