Sedge Wren + repost

by May Haga

Gallery: AvianPosted July 21, 2013307 views21 comments
This was taken recently on a dull, rainy day. These are such fun little birds to shoot. They are fairly approachable and scold you for coming into their territory.

Nikon D800, f5.6, 1/400, ISO 640, 300 mm lens plus 1.4 tc.

Thanks for looking and critiques appreciated.

May

Love it!! Sweet pose with the splayed legs and singing. (or he/she could be hollering "Help! I'm stuck!")
That branch is great, and the BG perfect.

Very cool image. That pose is just too funny. Very nice. There is a dust bunny on the left side about half way up that could easily be removed.

Love this one May. The outstretched feet, open beak and raised tail feathers all make this one special.

Great pose, May. I've been out of the loop a couple of weeks, so I'm sorry I missed this when first posted.
