I've been fortunate to find many active nests this year, and have had many good opportunities with the adult birds coming in with food. Here's another, a bonus natural cavity House Wren nest. I never did see the young fledge, but an acquaintance of mine witnessed six of them leave the nest a couple of days after this was taken.
Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/320s., f/4, ISO 1600, natural light, handheld, about 80% FF, toned down the birch bark via burn tool. In hindsight I should have blended away the BG line near the tail...

. As for the tail area that Ann mentions. I see it. It's in the raw file as well. I'm thinking that the wren moved ever so slightly in the rear area, causing some sort of ghosting effect. Whatever the case, that should be an easy fix with the clone stamp.
