A fairly common permanent resident of desertscrub and chaparral habitats in the western part of the region. It is most common on Hualapai lands and along the Grand Wash Cliffs, but is also present in Toroweap Valley and has been found along the Colorado River upstream to at least Kanab Creek. While Mearns noted it as plentiful on Havasupai lands in 1884, most populations in the region are introduced (Brown et al. 1985). Data source: Gatlin, BP. 2011.
