Another new bird! The star of the show a bewicks wren.

 While I was out taking pictures of great horned owls little birds kept showing up and stealing the show. Bewicks wrens favor dry bushy areas, scrub, thickets and open woodlands near rivers and streams. They are also home in gardens, residential areas and parks and cities. Wrens forage actively by climbing and hopping about on trunks, branches and twigs of trees, probing into bark crevices or gleaning insects from the surface. They feed mostly on insects including beetles, ants, wasps, catepillars and grasshoppers. Males define their territory by singing which this guy did plenty of. The birdsongs were beautiful and immediately grabbed your attention.
