Who gives a goatee-challenged, even-tempered visitor from the south a name like this? On Monday at the dam I saw this on his nest high in one of the ash tree that we volunteers had saved from the scourge of the Giant Reed. Interesting thing about Northern Beardless-Tyrannulets is that they only come into the U.S. in southeastern Arizona and then only in the summertime.
