Orite buissonnière (plumbeus) / Bushtit (Interior) / Psaltriparus minimus
Morongo Valley, Californie, U.S.A.
Ce soir je vous présente un petit oiseau qui bouge 2 à 3 fois plus que nos Grimpereaux brun. Sans plus d'éclats et anonyme dans son environnement, mesurant 11cm / 4.5 pouce pas vraiment plus gros qu'un oiseau mouche. Je l'avais observé l'année passée mais pas vraiment bien capté pour le présenter comme un Lifer... J'ai je crois eu la chance de capter les deux espèce le même soir et dans le Golden Hours... Les voici.

Tonight I present you a little bird that moves 2 to 3 times more than our Brown Creepers. Without being so obvious in is environment and blending in perfectly, measuring 11cm / 4.5 inch not really bigger than a hummingbird. I had seen it last year but not really made a good captured to present it as a Lifer ... I think I had the chance to capture both species the same evening and in the Golden Hours ... Here they are.

The American bushtit inhabits mixed open woodlands, often containing oaks and a scrubby chaparral understory ; it also inhabits parks and gardens. It is a year-round resident of the western United States and highland parts of Mexico, ranging from Vancouver through the Great Basin and the lowlands and foothills of California to southern Mexico and Guatemala.
The American bushtit is one of the smallest passerines in North America, at 11 cm (4.3 in) in length and 5–6 g (0.18–0.21 oz) in weight. It is gray-brown overall, with a large head, a short neck, a long tail, and a short stubby bill. The male has dark eyes and the adult female, yellow. Coastal forms have a brown "cap" while those in the interior have brown "mask."
The American bushtit is active and gregarious, foraging for small insects and spiders in mixed-species feeding flocks containing species such as chickadees and warblers, of 10 to over 40 individuals. Members of the group constantly make contact calls to each other that can be described as a short spit.
This species produces an elaborate pendant nest of moss and lichen assembled with spider silk and lined with feathers.
