An uncommon and local summer resident of sagebrush areas throughout the region. The Arizona Breeding Bird Atlas located Sage Sparrows in a number of new locations, including House Rock Valley, along the north edge of the Kaibab Plateau, from Kanab Creek west to the Hurricane Cliffs, and south of the canyon’s South Rim (Corman 2005f). It is a rare migrant elsewhere in the region in May and again from late September to late November. Sage Sparrow is a casual winter visitor, with five winter records from the rims and river.
