One of my top 20 birds to photograph was the marsh wren. I found a male that was busy crafting a nest near the boardwalk and he actually posed for quite a few shots. I like this one a lot. D500 420mm (300mm f4 + 1.4x TC; 1/1250 sec at f8, Iso 1000) Crop for comp, DeNoise, Topaz Detail, Shadows & Highlights, Hue & Saturation (-Cyan saturation), crop for comp to a 10x8" image..............................Jim

I like this shot too, Jim. The fact that the bird is calling is really nice, but the perch and the background really set him off nicely.

Beautiful, Jim. Superb detail, background and singing pose. The clear view isn't something you get often with this species. I was on a volunteer work party in a wetland area yesterday morning. I heard these all over the place and didn't see any of them.
