The Rufous-capped Warbler is a tropical species that barely reaches the United States, with small resident populations in southern Arizona’s canyons. It is easily identified by its bright rufous crown, white face, and yellow underparts. Active and vocal, it frequents shaded understory in oak and sycamore canyons such as Madera and Florida Canyons. This species has become a favorite target for birders hoping to glimpse its lively behavior and melodious song.
