However, It is also present in small parts of California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Sonora in Mexico.

Also, In some of the areas (such as around Phoenix), they come into yards in well-watered suburbs.

Besides this, They are overlapping in habitat with Canyon Towhee in some places, but Abert's stays closer to water in dense cover, avoiding dry open hillsides.
