Frank Toupal, April Howard, Jeffery McFadden and Daniel Juan observe a flycatcher during the 17th Annual Southwestern Willow Flycatcher Survey Training Workshop field trip held on the lower San Pedro River near Dudleyville. The bird was listed as endangered in 1995 as its riparian homes fell victim to growth and overused rivers. The Wildlife Service designated critical habitat areas for the bird and created a recovery plan, and in 2004, agency scientists proposed designating about 376,000 acres of habitat for the flycatcher.
