Rock Wren (Salpinctes obsoletus)

A very common bird in dry arid regions, but secretive. As is obvious, from the image, they have a narrow habitat range. They stay in the confines of rocky areas. They are insectivores, and probe in the crevices of rocks for food. They even construct their nests in rock recesses. They can be found near sea level, and up into the transition forest (among rock, again), at 7000 feet.
