In The Shadows

The birds were flitting about as I was stretching my legs, but instead of flying away, a bunch of them stuck around in the tree right above me.

Out in the sun is one of the male house wrens, resplendent in the bright morning rays. Can you spot the hummingbird in the shadows?

Yeah, he’s shiny and bright and bold and he knows it.

Little Bastard can be absolutely iridescent in the sun, but he knows that the hawks are out, so he’ll stay well hidden in the shadows and let the wren sit out in the sun at the top of the tree in the open.

Iridescence has its limits!
