Black-eared Bushtit (Psaltriparus melanotis)

I had never been able to locate this variation of the Bushtit. My first trip to the Mexico City area last weekend surprised me with this find!

Oh my!!! What a wonderful find for you Thomas. A super picture to get of him too.

Very well done lad.

It's a clearer image than the current one showing on the Opus page, so I'll upload your one there shortly. Many thanks for sharing it with us.

Thanks Delia, my first trip to Mexico City was to see the Rolling Stones in Concert, but was able to add 9 new birds to my life list as well!!
