Their list not only includes the species with the official flycatcher names, but also includes phoebes, kingbirds, kiskadees and pewees.

The species that inhabit the United States are first and foremost migratory forest birds. While there are a big number of species in the United States, in some given location merely a handful of species are typically present because so many have in nature limited ranges. For example, there are western and eastern species of kingbirds and pewees.
