Jeuvenile Male Singing

Another shot of my "tame" blue wrens.
As I have said before, these birds sing to their eggs.
If the hatchlings do not know the song, the are kicked out of the nest.

Nikon D600
1/1250s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Thank you both Sally and Terry.
I know these are very difficult to photograph.
I feel a bit of a fraud as this particular group is not shy.
The ones in my garden are!!
Keep trying Sally.

Lovely shot Elaine. I hear them all the time whist walking but am still trying to get the male. They move so swiftly and unless prepared are difficult to shoot. Well done!

Amazing behavior, Elaine. You are so lucky to have such a beautiful bird at your place.
Thanks for posting these shots! Nice work.
