Beginner - Help Identifying Bird in Mazatzal Wilderness (Central AZ USA) (1 Viewer)

[MR E30]

Afternoon,

I spent a few days camping earlier this spring and I made a friend over the course of two days.

This guy spent the first day hanging out in a tree nearby, and the second day, after scouting it all out, went in for his treat!

I am a complete beginner at birding, and Google was of no help.

Thank you.
