Wren

One of these House Wrens has had me up at 5am everyday for the last 3 weeks! I like this image not so much for the bird, but because it reminds me of something my Grandma once told me...."The warblers will start to move through here when the oak leaves are the size of a squirrel's ear." So far, I'm seeing more squirrels than warblers!

50D, 700mm, ISO 400, F10, 1/125 LARGER version provided. Thanks once again for looking and commenting/critiquing....I learn from them all! Sharon

I love the singing pose. The green leaves add nice color to the image. Very nicely done, Sharon!

Nice point-of-view on this wren. Excellent view of the undertail. Nice DOF as well.

Lovely composition, Sharon. The bird seems just a bit soft,like the autofocus locked on the branch. The lines of the tree and the singing pose are great.

Nice story and lovely shot. The birds looks great in this pose with open beak. The lines in the BG are a little distracting, but not much you can do about them ... Fine one ! Cheers, Hans
