Field Notes

Description:

Tan bodied wren with whitish throat and breast. It also has a long downturned bill.

Habitat:

It was nesting in an open, dilapidated building next to an alder-dominated stream.

Notes:

The bird was not inherently afraid of my presence near its nest. Sorry about the bad photo, the camera was dying.
