Ian,
This very much looks like a Rock Wren. Enough to me that I will get away
this afternoon to go try to refind. I'm not super familiar with the
location, but I'll give a look based on your description above. If you have
a GPS coordinate or map pin, that would be additionally helpful.
Thanks,
-Kenny
