Friday Bird Blogging: the Bushtit

The Bushtit is a Western Bird that we spotted while staying in New Mexico a few weeks ago. Cornell reports the Bushtit as being one of the birds that adapts well to changing landscapes, having learned to adapt to suburbs in the state of increasing its range.

Like many birds its size (3-4"), this is not the easiest bird in the world to photograph, but having a small flock of them feed in a tree in a populated area meant a bird which was used to people, which made my job a lot easier.
