In eleven years of blogging about birds I’ve only posted photos of a Rock Wren a single time and for very good reason – in their typically rugged habitat they simply refuse to allow a close approach. But two days ago I got one of the aggravating little rascals in my viewfinder.
And believe it or not, this time he brought the fish close to me before gobbling it down instead of carrying it far away like he’s done repeatedly in the past.
The coyote obviously had crane cutlets in mind for breakfast but the cranes seemed to be taunting him, even daring him to attack. The attitude and demeanor of the cranes seemed to say “Give it your best shot, Buster”.
