  • Southern Bradshaw Mountains (Yavapai County) June 14-16, 2019
    Southern Bradshaw Mountains (Yavapai County) June 14-16, 2019 By Eric Hough The rugged terrain and mix of chaparral and pine-oak forest typical of the southern Bradshaw Mountains (photo © Eric Hough). Introduction The Bradshaw Mountains in central Arizona include a wide area of chaparral, pinyon-juniper and oak woodlands, ponderosa pine-Gambel oak forest, mixed conifer forest, and deciduous riparian woodland drainages, which include the headwaters of the Agua Fria and Hassayampa Rivers. While the northern part of the range nearest Prescott is regularly covered by local birders, the southern half is seldom-visited and there is a significant lack of eBird data for that area. As examples of this, doing an eBird search for two of the most common species expected (Woodhouse’s Scrub-Jay and Spotted Towhee) produced fewer than 10 checklists reporting each of these species! The Breeding Bird Atlas surveys in the early 1990s (Corman & Wise-Gervais 2005; hereafter referred to as the “Atlas”) did at least partially cover this area and found mostly expected species, but did not detect some possible higher elevation breeders such as Northern Pygmy- and Northern Saw-whet owls, Dusky Flycatcher, Warbling Vireo, Purple Martin, Red- breasted Nuthatch, Red Crossbill, and Pine Siskin. Recent range expansions northwestward of species such as Dusky-capped Flycatcher and Rivoli’s Hummingbird into the northern Bradshaws and other nearby ranges had not yet been found here either. For this early summer expedition, we focused on the mid to high elevations of the southern Bradshaws to see which breeding species were present. The timing of this expedition was also chosen due to the near full moon, which promised better conditions for detecting owls and nightjars.
