Canyon Wren_AZ_Coconino_05_13c

This male was found singing on a canyon rock wall about a mile into the Call of the Canyon Trail at the high elevations of Oak Creek Canyon. We hiked about 5 miles of the Oak Creek Canyon, which involved 14 stream crossings, but it is well worth it... incredible views and lots of wildlife;

 

I had scaled up the cliff wall a bit to get good views of this guy, a bird I had never actually seen before but had heard on several occasions;
