Arizona Bird Highlights: Fall 2025

A notable feature of the fall 2025 season (1 August to 30 November) was the significant movement of jays, woodpeckers, and several other high-elevation birds into the lowlands. This note will describe this, as well as other fall highlights. Reports are from eBird unless otherwise noted (eBird 2025). Some of the Arizona Bird Committee (ABC) review species have yet to be voted on by the ABC, and where reports of review-list species have not yet been submitted, observers are encouraged to do so. The common and scientific names of bird species follow the nomenclature of the American Ornithological Society.
