Rufous-capped Warbler (Basileuterus rufifrons), Hunter Canyon, Cochise County

This Rufous-capped Warbler was photographed by Barry McKenzie on 07 April 2018

There are ~30 accepted records of Rufous-capped Warbler for Arizona, including observations of multiple birds and nesting attempts, and numerous pending reports. Some sites such as this one have hosted long staying multiple individuals. Rufous-capped Warblers were discovered in Hunter Canyon in September 2013 and have been present continously since.

Broad rufous crown stripes and bright yellow breast make this species nearly unmistakeable.
