Seeing a Marsh Wren in its marsh habitat can be difficult. It's cover provides almost complete protection. The Marsh Wren spends much of its time under the cover of reeds. At the same time, they are active songsters, and sometimes sing at all hours of the day and night. This is the best shot I have got yet, a good way to start the month of May.

Perhaps you saw my earlier post of a Marsh Wren on April 22. That was my first capture of one, a very difficult bird to photograph! It was acceptable for a first shot, but I love this one singing its heart out. This photo is a huge crop of the original, the wren being a good distance away.
