Rock Wren Salpinctes Obsoletus

WY, Cody

Driving on route 14 from Cody towards the east entrance of Yellowstone
there is a small dirt route just outside of Code that leads to Spirit
Mountain. The base of this road seems to be (mis-)used by some ATV
enthusiasts who aren't out early in the morning. So this little wren
gave me a 1 hour solo presentation of his incredible singing
repertoire. And as soon as a dared to chase after another bird than
him he was right back in front of my lens to regain my attention. If
only all birds behaved like him...
