Marsh Wren

[Bill Dix]

My wife and I took a short mental-health trip to Vermont over the weekend to partake in its scenery and serenity. Found this fellow in the West Rutland Marsh. These are elusive little guys. I might have wished for the body to be turned a little sideways, but he was flitting around so quickly, and mostly hidden in the reeds, that I was pleased just to get a good head turn and perch.

D7000, 700mm, ISO 1250, 1/1600s @ f/7.1 manual, audio. Full-height cropped from horizontal.

One hard to shoot little bird. Well done, Bill.

It's a nice habitat image Bill.

[Geoffrey Montagu]

From the tough circumstances you describe you managed to capture a beautiful habitat image, Bill. Very nice detail, and I also like the pose.
