Thanks David. It was a challenge getting photos of these wrens. The cattail reeds were getting tall and the wind was blowing them around, making the wrens hard to see.

Thanks Ava, suzmonk and Hema. I moved that picture to the first spot.

Really nice photos ... love the ones where it's perched between two cattails.
