Hi,
Saw this guy today in Fremont, CA. Seemed to part of a pair defending a territory - they didn't like a squirrel in their tree. Is it a Bewick's?
Thanks!

For sure. The characteristic white stripe above the eye is a good indicator. Nice shot as well.

Thanks for the kind words and the confirmation. Wrens are so frenetic that it took many attempts to get a clear photo. Thank goodness for digital.
