Where to spot
Breeds in arid mountains and plateaus of southwestern USA and northern Mexico. Winters in western Mexico. It prefers pinyon-juniper woodlands and arid scrub.
How to spot
Look for its plain grey plumage and lack of prominent markings. Listen for its distinctive, slow, and hesitant song, often described as a series of deliberate, rising and falling phrases. Scan the mid-story of arid woodlands.
When to spot
Breeding season: spring and summer (April-July). Migration: spring (March-April) and fall (August-October). Winter: November-February. Most vocal during breeding season.
