Description
This tiny little two-toned gray bird known as a verdin, is only found in the southwest area of the United States. The adults have a yellow head along with a shoulder patch of chestnut brown. These very active little creatures can be found in the desert shrubs and love to tug at the red-orange flowers on the cape honeysuckle bush. They build large grassy ball-shaped nests with side entrances. Our little visitor really loves a fresh orange slice at the feeder and comes back for every last tiny morsel and then chatters for more! They are hard to capture in a photo as their movements are very quick and it is rare that they will sit still for very long.

That is so sweet of you to comment on so many of my pieces, Karen. I worked at Dean Clinic for many years and had a great time displaying my paintings at their art and craft shows!
