Rock Wren
Salpinctes obsoletus
The Rock Wren blends in perfectly with the rock at Writing On Stone.
I heard him before I saw him.
A tiny bird which grows up to 15 cm. Their wingspan is up to 23 cm, and weigh up to 18 g.
The Rock Wren occasionally builds a walkway of small flat stone that lead to its nest.
They do not drink water but seem to get all they need from the food they eat which are insects.
A remarkable singer, they have a repertoire of more than 100 songs.
A difficult shot since the sun had set and I didn't use a tripod. |
