Psaltriparus minimus
Small, brown and grey bird with yellow eyes. "The Bushtit is one of the smallest passerines in North America, at 11 cm in length and 5.3 g in weight. It is gray-brown overall, with a large head, a short neck, a long tail, and a short stubby bill. The male has dark eyes and the adult female, yellow." - Wikipedia
Salix tree at Sandy Lake. "The Bushtit inhabits mixed open woodlands, often containing oaks and a scrubby chaparral understory ; it also inhabits parks and gardens. It is a year-round resident of the western United States and highland parts of Mexico, ranging from Vancouver through the Great Basin and the lowlands and foothills of California to southern Mexico and Guatemala." - Wikipedia
The male can be seen at my other spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/741...
