Rock Wren - Haynes' Lease Ecological Reserve, BC
This songster was loudly singing along the bottom of the rock cliffs in Haynes Lease Ecological Reserve. He was a little light on tail feathers, but that didn't seem to bother his voice one bit as he sang almost the entire time we were there. Rock Wrens are only found in a few remote places in British Columbia and one area is the only desert in Canada just north of the USA border around Osoyoos Lake. This wonderful little area is also the only place to regularly find other dry climate birds like Western Bluebirds, Common Poorwills, White-throated Swifts and Yellow-breasted Chats.
