Hail to Thee, Mouse-Like Bird! Wren nor Tit Thou Never Wert!

Oil on cardboard.

Adam goofed. The bird called wrentit (Chamaea fasciata) is neither a wren nor a tit.

A wrentit… is a secretive, sedentary, mouse-like bird endemic to North America, primarily found in western coastal regions of the U.S. and Baja California. It’s the sole species in its family, Chamaeidae, and is known for its loud, ping-pong-like song and its preference for dense, low shrubs, where it skulks and gleans insects and berries.

About JMN

I live in Texas and devote much of my time to easel painting on an amateur basis. I stream a lot of music, mostly jazz, throughout the day. I like to read and memorize poetry.
