Coordinator notes: Nice record I will also use in the Season Summary though regular in that county. Yours is the only I have heard about in that state in 2012. I found a fresh one in the Sierra Nevada in California two weeks ago. They are having a big year in southeastern Arizona and they stray north. Mine was the only California record this year so far as I have heard.
