Thryomanes bewickii: Bewick's Wren


It's amazing what you can see when you're looking. I did a whirlwind visit to Portland last week and saw all sorts of birds I don't normally see. One of them is the Bewick's Wren -- he stopped by my mom's backyard for breakfast provided by Neighbor Bob.

They're little birds with a white eye stripe, and the one visiting my mom's house seemed to be kind of interested in the window... whether he could see us or his reflection is up for debate.
