Occurrence Notes
One specimen collected 5 miles outside of Valentine, AZ north of Route 66. The animal was shot by a hunter who was hunting geese and the skin turned into the park (Datasource: ICMS database). It is very unlikely that this is a naturally occurring species. A more likely scenario is that it was a captive animal that escaped. (Datasource: B. Gatlin and M. Terwilliger pers. comm. Aug2016)
