Miss Marge Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I'm wondering if anyone can ID this bird. Taken on a hike in Eaton Canyon, Pasedena, Cali in July Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Thick bill and pale eye make this a Wrentit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Cochrane Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 If you have ever been to the California coast, you’ve most likely heard the wrentits loud bouncing ball song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 This looks like a Bushtit, females of which have yellow eyes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I thought, but I'm not familiar with Wrentits so I did not want to say so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackburnian Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Agree with Bushtit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Not sure how I missed that. Both are so distinctive. A weird looking Bushtit this one is, but it’s definitely one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aveschapinas Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Female Bushtit was my impression too, but I've never seen a Wrentit. She seems to be hiding her tail, which doesn't help with the ID... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
