Bewick’s Wren
Bewick’s Wren has the prettiest song of all the birds in my town. It favors dense foliage and so is hard to photograph. But here it took a perch on the horizontal bar of a wire fence, and I saw its lovely self.

I love that it’s a silhouette, but that the shoulder patch is faintly visible.

Nice sighting of the yellow rumped warbler, Carmel. The picture became more revealing when I cropped it to just feature the bird.

I finally looked up the meaning of the adjective “piliated”. A pileus is an ancient Roman brimless felt cap.

Well of course the stork is necked. Have you ever seen a stork wearing clothes?

How do you find out what is the daily bird theme? I never know until I see people posting photos.

“Try hard; get barred.” It means something different to an owl lover than it does to a fan of Bob Dylan.
