Red-faced Warbler

This warbler is a summer resident of Southeastern Arizona. It favors higher elevations--7000 feet and upward if available.

 

I found this bird a few years ago at the top of Mount Lemmon in Tucson at the top, which is about 9200 feet. It is a great place to bird. They say with every 1000 feet of elevation, you will find yourself in an environment 300 miles north of Tucson, so the top is like being in British Colombia.

 

As far as I know, this is the final warbler of those I have photographed. I have only 4 US and Canada nesting warblers to photograph.
