"One of the best songsters in the west, the Canyon Wren is usually heard before it is seen. Surprisingly elusive and skulking even in open terrain, this dark rusty wren disappears and reappears as it creeps about the jumbled rocks of an eroded cliff or steep canyon wall. If the observer waits, the bird will eventually jump to the top of an exposed boulder to pour out another song, a rippling and musical cascade of notes, well suited to beautiful wild canyons."

A Hightailed Feathursday

We love the little tail-flags of high-spirited wrens. Here’s a little guy we never see in our region, the Canyon Wren (Catherpes mexicanus), which is a western and southwestern bird, down through Mexico. Canyon Wrens prefer steep rocky environments, arid landscapes, and deep canyons; not much of that around here in southeastern Wisconsin.

This chromolithograph is from a painting by American ornithologist Robert Ridgway, the first curator of birds at the Smithsonian Institution, from our 2-volume set of Our Native Birds of Song and Beauty, by the late-19th-century director of the Milwaukee Public Museum Henry Nehrling, and published in Milwaukee by George Brumder from 1893-1896.

Nyanchi was upset that we were gone for 3 days and gave us little meows to ask, “DAFUQ YOU BEEN?!?!” She was very talkative this morning. But she didn’t like it when Mrs S tried cleaning her eye boogers. #dafuqyoubeen #kittyeyeboogers #catherpes #thiscatlikesbakedfish #freshbakedfishforkitty #notmycat #notourcat #omarlittlecat #nyanchi #にゃんち #猫 #にゃん #にゃんスタグラム #和邇 #大津市 #琵琶湖猫 #滋賀県 #日本 #cat #catstagram #gato #gatostagram #meowstagram (at Wanitakashiro, Otsu-shi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLxr3Y5JaaJ/?igshid=lr9xv4k63qp9
