While I was photographing a bathing Tufted Titmouse yesterday, a Carolina Wren snuck in silently and landed on a driftwood perch near where I was sitting.<\/p>\n

I quickly aimed my lens at the Carolina Wren and began taking images of the striking bird. I haven’t had many opportunities with this species since I arrived here, so I was pretty excited.<\/p>\n

The Carolina Wrens here are a bit skittish, and when they\u2019re not, I usually don\u2019t have a camera in my hands. But yesterday, I had one!<\/p>\n

I was thrilled that the wren was in good light, was close by, and that the wren called, chattered, and posed for as long as she or he did.<\/p>\n

Female and male Carolina Wrens look alike, which is why I used “she or he.”<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t choose just one favorite image of this Carolina, so I picked ten. Picking a favorite image can be a huge problem for me, I loved them all!<\/p>\n

And that happens frequently, no matter what subject I have in my viewfinder.<\/p>\n

I chose the photos I’m sharing from the different poses that the Carolina Wren<\/span><\/a> struck. This saucy little wren gave me quite a few!<\/p>\n

It has been about two months since the last time I took photos of this species. I’d be very happy to take images of these wrens six times a year if they all turned out this well! More often would be the sprinkles on my cupcake.<\/p>\n

I guess you all can tell I was excited to see and photograph this beautiful wren!<\/p>\n

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