There is a canyon wren hanging around the backyard of my house and my neighbor's house. I heard the unmistakable song as soon as I stepped outside. Very reddish color, white throat, dark bands on tail, and long bill. Much easier to see in town than high up on a cliff. Singing and calling frequently. It was close by from 11-12. Has moved a bit farther away now (12:40), but I can still hear it on the block. I'll try to get a better pic and see if it is a juvenile or adult.

3:20 PM still hearing it - but it isn't singing or calling as much as in the morning. If anybody comes looking for it, please park on 39th and walk south up the alley. My neighbors will get grumpy if you block the alley.

Thanks,

Julia
