This Marsh Wren was definitely making his presence known at Anahuac NWR during a recent visit. Most of the time he was singing from high on a Phragmites stalk which was pretty nice but never very close by and the sky was pretty blah and overcast. At one point I noticed him down lower in the reeds and thankfully I was quick enough to snap a couple of quick shots before he dropped down out of site. I love the way he holds his tail!
