  The images of ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray sources get distorted, in an energy
dependent way, by the effects of Galactic and extragalactic magnetic fields.
These deflections can also affect the observed cosmic ray spectrum, specially
when the sources are transient. We study scenarios in which one or a few nearby
extragalactic sources, such as CenA or M81/M82, provide the dominant
contribution to the cosmic ray flux above the ankle of the spectrum. We discuss
the effects of the angular dispersion induced by the turbulent extragalactic
magnetic fields, and the coherent deflections caused by the regular Galactic
magnetic field, with the associated multiple imaging of the sources. We
consider the possible contribution from those sources to the dipolar
distribution discovered by the Pierre Auger Observatory above 8 EeV, as well as
to the hot spots hinted in the observations by the Pierre Auger and Telescope
Array observatories at higher energies, taking into account the mixed nature of
the cosmic ray composition.
