From what I've read in my rather old Mexican bird books, the Lineated does not come close to Arizona. But the lower Rio Grande valley would seem a likely place. Maybe global warming will speed the day. As for the Imperial, it is history. The White-striped Woodcreeper is reportedly a candidate, as it has been seen within 50 miles or so of Arizona.

Yeah I went back and looked at the range after the post. Lineated for sure could show in Texas. White-striped Woodcreeper seems to be on a lot of experts Next 10 birds list to show up in AZ.

There is at least one unsubstantiated sighting of Lineated Woodpecker from the Lower Rio Grande. I expect one will turn up there and be photograghed some day.
