Today (12/1/25) at 1045 I observed a female AMERICAN RESTART at my residence in northwest Cochise County (approximately 8 miles northwest of Pearce/Sunsites. The bird foraged in two of the few trees remaining with leaves on our property (pear tree and African sumac tree). We are located near the east side of the Dragoon Mountains. Otherwise, the immediate area is characterized by Chihuahuan desert scrub.
Field marks included prominent yellow wing bars, extensive yellow in outer tail feathers, and gray head. The bird vocalized, in flight and at rest, with frequent chip/flight calls. After retrieving my cell phone, the vocalizations were again detected and confirmed upon activating Merlin.
