Marsh Wren (with Fish)

Boyce, Virginia

With temps in the mid-40ties, decided to see if I could improve on Marsh Wren images. Today is 'blue-sky' with nice bright sunlight.
Blandy Experimental Farm (Virginia Arboretum) is crowded with lots of folks with cameras, dogs, and children.
Yes, that is a fish in this wren's bill - eMailed David Carr at Blandy Farm and he identified this minnow: mosquito fish (genus Gambusia)
Managed several good shots of this wren - - see 'previous' two images.
