A rare summer resident of ponderosa pine forests. It is a rare winter resident and uncommon spring and fall migrant in both ponderosa pine and pinyon-juniper forests. It was formerly considered a rare summer breeding resident of the North Rim and Mount Trumbull (Brown et al. 1985), but recent records are lacking. The Arizona Breeding Bird Atlas found only one instance of breeding, in Kaibab National Forest, east of Red Butte (Wise-Gervais 2005b). There are two records from the Colorado River at Phantom Ranch: two seen on 1 May 1973, and another on 24 Oct 1972 (both Robert Cornelius). Data source: Gatlin, BP. 2011.
