Canyon Wren
Apr 20 Alaska, 4400 ft., Baja California (Sierra Juarez)
Found the bird in an upper Sonoran growth here at the top of the mountain. There were pinyon pines, ceanothus, much scrub oak and Adenostoma,
among large granite boulders and outcappings.
The wren was on top of a boulder, singing
rather steadily. When disturbed it flew in
beneath some rocks for a few moments, then
out to another where it sang, stretching
upward and holding the head up high each time.
