This Bewick's Wren was photographed on Roel Ramirez's Ranch in Roma, TX. It was nesting in the eaves of the large morning photo blind. It came in and out like a bat landing far to our right. I managed just a a single sharp frame (see the ORIG below) with the Canon 800mm f/5.6L IS lens, a 25mm extension tube, and the EOS-1D MIII. ISO 640. Evaluative metering +2/3 stop: 1/80 sec. at f/6.3.
The bird worked very hard bringing in food for the young and I worked very hard getting rid of the rusty pipe and building a sharp tip to the frond that the bird was sitting on. I had zip on this species.... Plus, I love the spider.
Don't be shy; all comments welcome.
