We were very interested in seeing a Rufous-winged Sparrow during our recent visit to Arizona. The southeast portion of the state is the only part of the US where this species occurs and thankfully, they are fairly common in that part of their range. This photo was taken just after sunset and I probably wouldn’t have even bothered to attempt a photo at such low light levels but the perch was just so nice I just had to make an attempt and I’m glad I did.
