\"AdultAdult Rock Wren staring at me \u2013 Nikon D500, f7.1, 1\/1600, ISO 640, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

Any time I have a Rock Wren in my viewfinder is a good day for me. Yesterday was an especially good day because I had two nesting adult Rock Wrens to focus on. I found the wrens on a small desert cliff face in part because I heard one of the wrens calling<\/span><\/a>. Because I heard the wren I looked around and spotted the wren in the photo above staring at me. Maybe it was glaring at me, I can’t say for sure. I do know that when I view this image I can’t help but smile.<\/p>\n

Just moments after seeing and photographing this Rock Wren I saw another one above and behind it carrying nesting materials in its bill. If I had had more time with these wrens it is likely that I may have been able to find their nesting cavity or crevice. Rock Wrens often line the “path” to their nests with small stones.<\/p>\n

I hear Rock wrens singing<\/span><\/a> often when I am out looking for birds to photograph in desert habitat. I wish I were able to photograph them more frequently than I do. They can be challenging to spot and even more difficult to get in my viewfinder because these wrens move around a lot.<\/p>\n

Because I heard one wren singing I was able to take two photos of this species that I liked yesterday morning. I would love to have about a dozen or two more images of this species to share with everyone today but these two will have to do.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
