This is the Verdin, it is a very small bird, gut has a loud call.. I took this picture at the nature preserve no far from home.

Verdins are permanent residents of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, ranging from southeastern California to Texas, throughout Baja California and into central Mexico, north of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt.

Auriparus flaviceps) is a species of penduline tit. It is the only species in the genus Auriparus, and the only species in the family to be found in the New World.

The Verdin is a very small bird. At 4.5 inches in length, it rivals the Bushtit as one of the smallest passerines in North America.

Hi Everton, excellent shot of this Verdin. It's one I wasn't familiar with so I thank you for the introduction. The pose is perfect on this one on the angled branch, with good room around him and excellent positioning. The colours are very clear with great sharp detail, and you've nicely muted the background, without blowing it away.

Thanks, John

Hello Everton, yes, we almost have the same name! I used to like to call myself Francine De Milo (like the Venus ;-)... That is a beautiful little bird, he looks like a small chick. Very nice picture, Everton, I like the composition and the framing, the colours are beautiful and natural and we see lots of details. I like it! Thank you,

Francine

Hello Everton,
I missed this delightful capture of a Verdin. The composition and lighting against a blue sky are superb and the pose and the POV taken with pretty good sharpness make this a nice one to view.
Thanks for sharing this beauty,
