Canyon Wren

This is the same, San Jose individual as depicted on the triangular rock in the adjacent frame. The sun came out in the half-hour separating the two frames, so I was really happy to capture this color-saturated view to complement my previous, flat light result. There were some droppings on this perch as well, but I as unable to climb on top of it to flick/scrub them off. So, I had to cheat and remove them in Photoshop after the fact. Frame is otherwise representative of what I saw through the viewfinder, the blurred background included.
