Got a few minutes in urban Tucson? Lewis’s Woodpeckers are being seen at a couple of sites, and a Red-breasted Sapsucker is reliably found at McCormick Park right now. And an Acorn Woodpecker in Reid Park is part of what is shaping up to be a nice incursion of montane species into the lowlands.

The Upper Santa Cruz River between Tubac and Tumacacori is the current hotspot in southeast Arizona. A Rufous-backed Robin and a Varied Thrush–an uncommon conjunction–are being reliably seen feeding on berries, and yesterday Gavin Bieber and Jake Mohlmann discovered a female-plumaged Rose-throated Becard and a highly unusual lowland White-eared Hummingbird (photo: Jake Mohlmann).
