Occurrence Notes
An uncommon spring and fairly common fall migrant in forested areas throughout the region. There are only two records from the Colorado River: a male at Spencer Canyon (RM 246) on 13 May 1998 (Charles T. LaRue) and one at Lees Ferry on 15 May 1999 (Christine E. Goetze). A very late spring migrant was at Hearst Tanks on the South Rim on 12 Jun 2007 (Brian P. Gatlin) and one at Grand Canyon Village on 3 Jul 1936 (Louis Schellbach) was an even more unusual occurrence.
