Pacific Wren
These little guys are very sprite and full of energy. I was standing in some tall brush observing the hillside around me (mainly looking for moose) when I heard the flutter of wings. I looked down and noticed I had been bombarded by three or four of these tiny birds. They were quite brave and jumped from stick to stick, getting closer and closer to inspect. Not very easy to photograph, as they are constantly moving and looking around. Captured in north Idaho.

The Pacific wren is a very small North American bird and a member of the mainly New World wren family Troglodytidae. It was once lumped with ''Troglodytes hiemalis'' of eastern North America and ''Troglodytes troglodytes'' of Eurasia as the winter wren.
