Bewick's Wren Nicholas Flats 8839 Southern California_

Named after a wood engraver and friend.
"Thomas Bewick (his name is pronounced bew-ick; think Buick automobile when you say it) was an Englishman who combined artistic talent with a late 18th-century curiosity about the natural world and a fondness for the picturesque.
Whether studying wild birds that he adopted as pets or as specimens that English country gentlemen shot during hunting expeditions, Bewick worked from life. Scrutinizing their every feature and expertly employing his woodcutting tools and techniques to capture them, he created delicate, lively portraits of birds that convey texture and shading, plumage and personality. Some woodcuts show the bird perched on a branch. Others place the bird in its habitat. Whatever the pose, Bewick’s work displays originality and outstanding skill.
After his death in 1828, Bewick was honored by having two birds named after him. In 1830, English naturalist William Yarrell named a white swan with a little yellow patch above its black bill a Bewick’s Swan. Bewick’s Wren, a grey-brown and white bird with a prominent white eyebrow and a long, white-tipped tail, was given its name by John James Audubon in honor of his friend."
