Some small birds announce themselves by refusing to behave like the small birds you expected. One vanishes into low cover and scolds from a place you cannot see. Another walks down a tree trunk headfirst as if gravity has changed its mind. Another creeps upward along bark, disappears around the far side, and makes the tree itself seem alive. Wrens, nuthatches, creepers, and their local equivalents teach beginners to watch movement before color.
