Field Notes

Description:

A tiny gray bird with a darker crown. It has a long tail and a small, sharply pointed beak. Usually when I see this bird it is by itself. Today there was a flock of 5 or 6 together. I have a video if I figure out how to upload it.

Habitat:

Bushes

Awesome spotting, SFShep, and great video! I love the golden eyes on this bird! Thanks for sharing! I'm sorry no one was able to respond to your support question, but I'm glad you've figured it out. :)
