Marsh\u00a0Wren playing hide and seek in the reeds.<\/p><\/div>\n

We were looking at Cranes and Geese shortly after dawn near the Farm Deck at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge when this Marsh Wren popped up in the reeds beside us and lead us a merry chase trying to get a good look and any kind of photo at all. It stayed in this one small clump of dense reeds growing along the water channel, but it keep well out of sight, chattering all the time so we would know it was still there. Eventually it was joined by an equally as noisy, but less elusive, Sony Sparrow.<\/p>\n

I did my best to turn it into a Bewick’s Wren…which I have not seen in close to 20 years…since I lived in western New Mexico, but, it remained, stubbornly, a Marsh Wren. Bewick’s Wren at Bosque would have made a better title. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
