Marsh Wren - The Crooner

Alamosa NWR

These singing wrens continued their serenade for hours while we were on the tour loop. They continued crooning, even with their eyes closed, which made them look like lounge singers as they really got into their singing. Each singing bird had "staked out" a territory in the marsh as their own, which they continued to vocally proclaim their ownewship over.
