TERRITORY AND LILIES

The whiteness of the paper oozes with transparency in comparison to the whiteness of the paint which allows me to introduce two male blue wrens. They bask in battle for territory and mates. Astonishingly, these birds have an attractive iridescent blue during mating season, but otherwise appear greyish and feminine from April to August in Australia.
