Phainopepla nitens

This is an interesting species and the only representative in North America of the Silky-Flycatchers (Family Ptilogonatidae), it is closely associated with Mistletoe and consumes its berries. It seasonally migrates from the desert lowlands to the wooded highlands in the sky islands. It breeds twice each year in the two different habitats. It has been known to imitate the calls of 13 other avian species when being pursued by predators. The name (Phainopepla) comes from the Greek for shining robe. As you can see it is well named.
