That is the only one that I have ever seen. When I was shooting, I
actually thought that I was shooting a fluffed up female goldie. Then
when I was going through the pictures in Bridge, I saw those eyes. Wow.
When I opened tha Sibley book, it virtually fell open at the Wrentit.
That almost fit, but the tail was wrong. The Wrentit seems to carry it
pointed up. When I went to the Wrentit on the Web, I found a reference
to the Bushtit. One of the pictures in the Sibley book fit that to a tee.

This little scamp was traveling with a feeding flock of finches and
chickadees. Took a little while to find the info, but seems to be a
bushtit.

Odd to see a lone one. We get groups moving through here, migrating, I
suppose, but what I've seen agrees with the Cornell Lab and other
sources, "Almost always found in lively flocks, they move constantly"
They are really small.
