Birds of The Azure Gate

In additional to the occasional Brown Crested Flycatcher, here are a few other occasional visitors to The Azure Gate:

Black Headed Grosbeak

Typically found in hardwood forests, the Black Headed Grosbeak summers in the Western US and winters in Mexico. He was probably just passing through on his migration.

The Hooded Oriole is another summer migrant only found in the extreme southern Arizona and California (and occasionally New Mexico and Texas).

Northern Mockingbird

The Northern Mocking bird is much more widespread found throughout the US except in the Northwest, Montana, the Dakotas, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Like the Hooded Oriole often found in suburban neighborhoods. Unlike the Hooded Oriole is a year round resident.
