House Wren | February 2008 |
|
Last summer I thought I was photographing a Carolina wren, but after sending an image to the State College bird list members, it was pointed out that it was a house wren.
In hindsight, as with most everything else, it should have been obvious.

That is, obvious, when the wren turned around and showed a clear profile. No eye stripe.

Here's a link to my Carolina wren photos for comparison.
A second house wren joined the first, and then it was the challenge of keeping both in focus. |

House wrens occasionally stop by the feeders at home, but these photos came from the game land next to Cooper's Pond.
Photo note: On August 14, 2007, I used a Pentax *istD, with the SMC 1000mm reflex lens, for these photos. |
