Carolina Wren: Kennebunk, Maine, USA, January 2026 — After a fresh snowfall (maybe 6 inches total), the Carolina Wren showed up with the early birds, looking for mealworm crumbs the Bluebirds dropped under the feeder, in the snow shadow of the lower deck rail. I had my a7RC with the Tamron 150-500 out on a tripod in front of the deck doors because the birds were so active and was able to catch several shots of the wren at work in the snow and around the feeder. It was way too cold to have the deck doors open, so these are through two sheets of glass. The sun was behind heavy clouds. At 500mm, cropped to around 800mm equivalent field of view.
