Yavapai College (Arizona 2025, Part 7)

After a few days in Phoenix, it was nice to wake up in the smaller town of Cottonwood. I woke up early on the morning of the 28th and hit the Yavapai College Trail.


I didn't see a ton of bird variety, but there were lots of the above species (Phainopepla and Black-throated Sparrow), and there would be a lifer.

This sparrow had me confused, and honestly, even before posting this I double-checked the video I had, but I'm confident as I can be that this distant sparrow is the first Brewer's Sparrow I've seen.
