Stretched

Marsh wren negotiating the bulrush stems.  Always amazing the positions they choose as they move through these areas.  D500, 150-600 @ 360, 1/3200, 7.1, ISO 800.  Your thoughts are always appreciated.

An amazing behavioral image, Jim.  I've never seen them stretch like this, but then they're very hard to see most of the time.  Excellent job getting this pose and not having anything in the way of the vird.  Detail looks good as well.

Very impressive position.  You were certainly in the right place at the right time in order to catch this.  I like the composition, detail.  This environmental image works well.
