Marsh Wren, Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve at Laudholm Farms, Wells Maine

This Marsh Wren, singing in the marsh at the edge of Drake’s Island on the back side of the Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve at Laudholm Farm in Wells Maine, was at the limits of what could be photographed, and it just would not come any closer. Still I had to try…and the pose alone is worth the shot. I have seen Bearded Tits strike this pose in Holland, but this is my first Marsh Wren…though I am sure they do it often.
