Bewick’s Wren, Like the Car

[Click image to view in a lightbox.]

I photographed this Bewick’s Wren just outside of town, near some woods and a creek. I read that Bewick’s Wren—it’s pronounced like “Buick”—is becoming increasingly rare in the Eastern U.S. even as it becomes far more common in the West. No one seems to know why exactly.
