More Wrens

There are about 80 species of wrens in 20 genera worldwide.  Wrens are mainly a New World Family, distributed from Alaska and Canada to southern Argentina, with most in the Neotropics.  There are 10 wren species in North America, which brings me to the featured photo: the Canyon Wren.

Rufous-crowned Sparrow

On the first day of March, J, our two dogs Kodi and Kaja, and I headed out to the 1,627 acre Santa Teresa County Park located in the Santa Teresa Hills ten miles south of downtown San Jose in Santa Clara County, CA.  This park is about 45 minutes from my home in the Santa Cruz mountains and on this early spring day (I know spring was a couple weeks away but this is California) the park was green with the wildflowers beginning to bloom.
