COUES'S FLYCATCHER 



Southern Arizona and northern Mexico comprise the range of this species. 

 In Arizona it seems to be found only in summer and breeds in the mountains 

 from 6,000 to 10,000 feet. The earliest date for Arizona is March 29, 1903, in 

 the Huachuca Mountains, and the latest, September 4, 1884 in the Santa Cata- 

 lina Mountains. A straggler was taken at Fort Lyon, Colorado, April 20, 1884.
