Canyon Wren

Catherpes mexicanus

Description:

Medium wren with rust-brown upperparts, fine white spots on gray-brown back, nape, and crown, white throat and breast, and chestnut belly. Tail is long and brown with thin black bars. Head has a flattened appearance; bill is long, slender, and slightly decurved.

Habitat:

This little guy flew into one of the crevices in the bluff along the lake. It bounced around so much, I had a hard time getting a photo. After it had explored the whole crevice, it flew off along the shore, visiting others along the way.
