A scaly-breasted Munia clings to a frond of the century plant.

            From Audubon: Native to southern Asia, this small waxbill is a popular cage bird. Escapees from captivity have established wild populations in several parts of the world. The species is now widespread and common in coastal California, from San Jose to San Diego, and other local populations are established around Houston, Texas, at a few spots farther east along the Gulf Coast, and in southern Florida. Usually seen in flocks.  Photo taken on Miramar Beach, CA.
