a House at home this year
House Wren HOWR (Troglodytes aedon)
Saanichton* Spit
aka
Cordova Spit
aka
TI̸X̱EN 'the Spit" ( Tsawout First Nation )
TIXEN
DSCN7819
Usually one must hope to catch a sighting during migration but this year it would seem that they successfully were on settled in territory & fledged a brood on "Mossy Oaks Rock"
Something about this individual made me think it may be a juvenile...but i have seen singing adults with bright open moths ...so i am not sure here
Also plumage in general doesn't give me anything definite with possible moult cycles involved.
