I went up to the Gila Wilderness (Sierra County, New Mexico) today - elevation between 5100 and 5500 feet most likely. I went down into a canyon that had a stream and this bird gave me a good scolding before it flew off. I remember a more rufous coloring than in this photo. Spotted near the start of my day up there and my memory could be faulty.
Thanks for looking
Yep!

Thank you Resin. I'm glad it scolded me or I wouldn't have seen it.
The one I saw in Mexico scolded me as well ;-)
They seem to be very noisy birds!
