Lucy's Warbler is a tiny, pale gray warbler with white underparts, a rufous rump patch, and a small rufous crown patch. It is the only warbler known to nest in tree cavities.
Where to spot
Breeds in arid and semi-arid southwestern United States (Arizona, New Mexico, southern California, Utah, Nevada) and northwestern Mexico. Winters in western Mexico.
How to spot
Look in riparian woodlands, mesquite thickets, and desert washes. It often forages low in vegetation. Listen for its distinctive song, a thin, sweet, somewhat halting "chip-chip-chip-swee-swee-swee."
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (late spring to early summer) when males are singing. Present from March to September in its breeding range.
