Rufous-backed Robin in a casual transient and winter visitor to central and southeast Arizona in habitats ranging from lowland riparian areas to mid-elevation canyons. This bird was first reported in Ramsey Canyon 11 January 2006 by Rick Romea. It went unreported from the end of January until it was re-sighted on 10 April. For record-keeping, Rufous-backed Robin sightings should be documented with brief descriptive details or photos.
