Rock Wrens

 I have talked before about the unexpected consequences of having the ravens move in last year, many of which have to do with the magpies moving further away from the house.

One of those consequences was the return of many of the smaller bird species that had been tormented by the magpies for years.

This year I have seen more rock wrens than I ever remember seeing in the past. I don't know where they find enough bugs to eat in this climate but they must do okay.
 This morning as I returned from my run I noticed a large group of wrens flitting around a couple of beautifully lichen covered rocks. The colors in the sunlight are amazing!
