You taste little bits that wouldn't digest. And you shit 'em out of your system. You grab hands, squeeze, then let it go. Drop it and watch it fall away like snow. Yearning for a drug that doesn't exist. Using your mouth like a fist. That smile can't even show on your face. You gotta get out of this place. Like the noose snared to your leg don't fit. Though even if you found the key you can't. Get off your knees and repeat after me. "The devil rocks my soul." Accept the fact that he didn't die and you'll be good to go. There's a lump in my throat that won't go away. I'm gonna rip it out. I'm gonna kill desire and knock it down. You'll be under my foot down on the ground. You're trying to get the picture when there's nothing really to get. You're running around in the desert trying to get wet. You're wanting to hold on tight when there's nothing really to hold. Stop that train of thought that drives you into the cold. Get off your knees and repeat after me. "The devil rocks my soul." Accept the fact that he didn't die and you'll be good to go. Get off your knees and repeat after me. "The devil rocks my soul." Accept the fact that he didn't die and you'll be good to go.

Actually, that looks like a Cactus Wren. They are rather cool birds, far beter than a sparrow!
I believe this LBJ was smaller than a cactus wren, although it could be a fledgling.
Either way, it's still a great shot. You have a great eye!
Thanks!
Despite this being small -- the consensus around the hood is that this is indeed a Cactus wren. It must be barely fledged and a mini.
Tom's analysis was very good, but I am going to guess with Bewick's Wren because of the 5 inch size of the bird, and try to confirm it on another day. The decline of Bewick's Wren might be interesting to read.
