The canyon wren is common in rocky canyons and cliffsides throughout much of the western USA. It has a flattish head, a bright white breast that contrasts sharply with rusty-red plumage, and a very long downcurved bill. It also has one of the prettiest and most characteristic of western bird calls, a rapid series of sweet whistled notes, falling in pitch. These birds were in Two Trees Canyon, near Riverside, California; all but the bottom image show adults. More photos of canyon wrens are here. |
