Occurrence Notes
A common summer resident on the Coconino Plateau, Hualapai tribal lands and the Arizona Strip. It favors grasslands and Great Basin desertscrub (especially sagebrush, rabbitbrush, and other woody shrubs), as well as some open pinyon-juniper woodlands (Wise-Gervais 2005j). It is an uncommon spring and fall migrant along the Colorado River and an uncommon spring and fairly common fall migrant elsewhere in the region. Spring migrants are seen through 18 May, and early fall migrants or post-breeding wanderers may appear by early July. Conditions may vary among subspecies. Data source: Gatlin, BP. 2011.
