A fairly common summer resident of ponderosa pine, pinyon-juniper, and occasionally mixed conifer forests. It is a fairly common spring and fall migrant throughout the region. Most spring migrants occur in May, but it has been seen along the river as late at 19 Jun. Fall migrants appear as early as the beginning of August, with most migrants passing between mid-August and mid-September. Three records from late February and early to mid-March are extremely early for the species, and may represent vagrant Eastern Wood-Pewees (Brown et al. 1987). Data source: Gatlin, BP. 2011.
