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, and in Joshua Tree National Park. More photos of canyon wrens are here. |
