Subject: [AZNMbirds] June "Species of the Month"
1 June 2026

In high-elevation pine forests of Arizona, a low frequency hooting during
the spring often suggests the presence of a large owl. It may be surprising
then to find one of the state’s smallest owls, the Flammulated Owl, is
sounding off. To learn why and more about this owl check out the *Arizona
Birds* June 'Species of the Month'

We appreciate the use of a photo by Andrew Core. *Arizona Birds* is
