Tim,

Lovely pose - very dynamic.

Seems a bit noisy for ISO 400. Is it a large crop?

They sure are loud birds eh! You sure it's a House Wren though? Nice singing pose, and although it is man-cut I do like the perch. The vertical comp works well. Not super fond of the twigs in the BG, and I agree with the noise mentioned.

Wonderful shot.
Love the singing pose.
Great perch and light.
Well done.

Miguel:
Yes it was a significant crop. 30d's are quite noisy at 400 with an extender.

Daniel:
Short tail with white dots, white eyebrow, barring on chest, early spring; makes this a Winter Wren.

Thanks guys!

[Daniel Cadieux]

Thanks for the clarification Tim, I thought the tail looked long here and that is what threw me off...
