Spotted
The Verdin is a tiny, sprightly bird of arid regions, known for its bright yellow head and often rusty shoulder patch. It is a highly active and vocal resident of desert scrub.
Where to spot
Arid and semi-arid scrublands, deserts, and riparian areas with thorny vegetation in the southwestern United States and Mexico.
How to spot
Look for its small size and bright yellow head as it flits quickly through thorny bushes. Listen for its loud, scratchy calls, which are often the first sign of its presence.
When to spot
Observable year-round. Most active during the cooler parts of the day, early morning and late afternoon.
