Paul Brewer photographed this Bushtit, seemingly posing just for him.
Bushtits are small songbirds. I love how they look for insects, oftentimes upside down! They often can be found with the flocks of Chestnut-backed Chickadees that we also have in our area.
Bushtits don't really have a song. Their calls are a high chipping sound. You can listen to their calls at this link to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Bushtit/sounds
Thanks to Paul for allowing me to share his photos with you here. To see much more of Paul's nature photography, here is the link to his website: http://www.capturingnatureswonders.com/

Lovely photograph of a beautiful little bird.
Thank you for sharing their bird-call audio files, when I played it, both of my cats came in from outside and looked right at my laptop quizzically! Apparently the call of the Bushtit is compelling. 😀
