Field Notes

Habitat:

in Sonoran and Mojave Desert scrub, coastal California chaparral and sage scrub, and deciduous forest and desert scrub in Baja California, Mexico

Notes:

Correct me if ID is wrong. Going mostly on the fact that there was a very distinctive male nearby. Unfortunately, the light and sun position were all wrong to get any photos of the male. (sad)
