The Marsh Wrens of Arcata Marsh, in Arcata CA, were in good form this trip. There is nothing like standing in the marsh being shouted down by a wren!<\/p>\n

Wrens sing with everything they have…sometimes it seems they will turn themselves inside out with song. These “down the hatch” shots attest to the unfettered expression of the wren.<\/p>\n

Comparatively\u00a0speaking, the Song Sparrow is just not in the same class, though it is in a class of its own, and a more musical class at that. Note that the wren aims its song directly at another male (or me if I am in the way), while the Song Sparrow tips its head back and sends its song to the sky!<\/p>\n
