bushtit

los angeles,ca

it was a pair of these beauties ..came through in the evening light couple of hours before sunset...they must be familiar with the layout of my yard because they certainly knew where to go ..in the fuchias and roses to play around .they most certainly were not timid because i shot this about 3 meters away.but i've never seen these before ..does any one know thier names ....calling all cars..mayday..mayday...


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Maybe a type of swallow? I live in julian ca and we get a lot of barn swallows in the eve hours. Great picture.

It looks like a bushtit but I'll I'm not positive. Don't you love it when a new bird shows up in the yard? -Janke
