~true bird fact~ Diet consists strictly of bugs and spiders. Short fact for you today, folks...

Ok fine, here's another. It's shy. Every website says that, what's going on, I thought anthropomorphizing was my deal? Are they trying to capture the magic of the Amateurnithologist brand? Anyway, it's a boring bird. Every other fact I can find is this lame inside-baseball stuff about Townsend's Warbler displacing their populations. Dangit Townsend's Warbler, not again!

Shy
Loves a good view
Has a conspiratorial nature
Doesn't stand up to Townsend's Warbler one bit, I can tell you that for sure
