So just when I think I've 'collected' all the species possible in my yard and property...

Pow! I see and ID a new Yard Bird. 

This is a Northern House Wren. 

The photos were taken looking through a metal fence, so are blurry.

But I was thrilled to watch the House Wren as it carefully gathered nesting material. 

Little tiny Douglas fir twigs seemed to suit.

And off it goes.  It also took some of the organic cotton from my nesting ball.

Also hard at work with nest construction was this female Rufous Hummingbird.

Busy, busy, busy birds.
