Canyon Wren

Catherpes mexicanus - Fairly common in canyons. A clear white throat and breast contrasting with its chestnut-brown belly distinguish this bird at a distance from other cliff-dwelling canyon species. The Rock wren, similar in size, is grayer and has a much lighter belly. The song is of loud clear descending whistles, slowing at the end.
