Flickr site:
"I
know there is a winter wren (Troglodytes pacificus)
that lives on Race Rocks. He is so small though
that I'm never sure where he will pop up so its
always a surprise when I see him. This time, he
came to say hello, he was quite close by (he is
smaller than a cupful of one hand) and posed for
me for a few minutes before flying off. I tried
looking for him but with so many crevices and
places to hide- it is quite impossible. Until next
time when he decides he wants to be seen!"
