Field Notes

Description:

Olive to yellowish underparts. The wings are mostly brown with two faint wing bars. The teardrop-shaped white eyering is key in identification.

Spotted in a canyon with mixed forest along Eagle Creek in Lincoln County, New Mexico. Pic 4 shows the habitat. Vegetation had perked up after recent rains.

Notes:

Primarily lives in the Rocky Mountains and migrates to Mexico for the winter.

Thank you so much John B! It was a fun place to explore. Glad you like the habitat pic.

Wonderful pictures, especially the first one where it looks straight into your camera. I think its great that you added a view of the habitat. That let's us all see the environment better than it can be described in words. John B.
