The Verdin is found in the arid landscapes of the extreme southern US states. This highly active bird has the characteristics of a warbler with its non-stop flitting from tree branch to tree branch. When approached and to avoid danger, it is known to fly a longer distance away than most small passerines.
ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year".
