Southwestern Willow Flycatcher Keeps Endangered Species Protection.

Background:
The flycatcher is a small, neotropical migratory bird that breeds in streamside forests of Southern California, southern Nevada, southern Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, western Texas and extreme northwestern Mexico.

Within this range the flycatcher has lost more than 90 percent of its habitat to dams, water withdrawal, livestock grazing, urban sprawl and other forces.
