State Records. —The Buff-breasted Flycatcher is a little known inhabitant of 
southwestern New Mexico. It probably breeds from about 5,000 feet to at least 
8,000 feet, judging from the altitudes at which it has been found nesting in the 
neighboring mountains of Arizona. It ranges north to Inscription Rock, where 
old birds were noted feeding their young July 24, 1873 (Ilenshaw); and northeast 
to Fort Bayard (Brewster). [Two specimens were taken the first of May, 1915, 
in Apache Canyon, about 12 miles west of Aragon, and it has often been observed 
in the country west of the Black Range (Ligon, 1916-1918).]
