Blue Mockingbird (Melanotis caerulescens), Sonoita Creek, Santa Cruz CountyThis Blue Mockingbird was photographed by James Holmes on 25 March 1992 My father and I saw and photographed the bird on March 25, 1992.
This extends the late date of March 6, 1992 accepted
previously by the ABC in the Rosenberg and Witzeman,
1999, Arizona Bird Committee Report 1974-1996, Part 2
(Passerines). This was the first record for the United States This is from my notes: The bird was very secretive and stayed low to the ground and in the cover. It appeared slightly larger than a Mockingbird, deep blue with black face mask. 25 March 1992, photo by James Holmes All photos are copyrighted© by photographer |
