Title: Wren
Post by: BetCrooks on April 28, 2015, 02:46:12 PM

I have an opinion about this one but I'd prefer the opinion of someone who has more experience.
This wren was one of 4 seen today at the Rattray Marsh. As usual, it made sure I'd have to shoot into the sun, and it refused to stay still. I hope someone can make a call on it despite the photo problems. It didn't vocalize at all.

Thanks! I'll add it to an eBird list.
For info, the Coopers are still on the nest at the Rattray. The garters are out, the toads are starting to trill, and the first Marsh Marigolds and Trout Lilies are out.
