Marsh Wren
Glenda, I love the photos, especially of the Marsh Wren. The only one I have ever seen before was at VCDB. Little thing was singing to beat the band while hanging onto a reed in a bit of a blow. It was great to see one up close...and we were really close! Glad you got such a great shot for us.
