One more of the Carolina Wren on a lichen covered perch.
This one probably represents the best pose I've managed to capture so far.

Hi Howard - this is a beautiful portrait of an extraordinarily cute wren! I guess I can't add much to what's already been said, but at least I must add my voice and appreciation to the others! This is the type of image I am always searching for when I train my lens on avian subjects. Love it.
