On 25 May 2008, I observed an aberrantly plumaged Brown-crested Flycatcher (Myiarchus tyrannulus) at the China Ranch Date Farm near Tecopa, in southeastern Inyo County, California (35° 48´ N, 116° 11´ W). Apart from rufous flight and tail feathers, this bird was almost entirely brownish-black—see photo on the outside back cover of this issue of Western Birds.
