Although there is speculation that one day Marsh Wrens might be split into Eastern and Western species for this post the word split is only about a pose I see Marsh Wrens in quite often. The problem is I don’t have many images of Marsh Wrens doing the splits because they move so fast that by the time I see this pose they have flown off before I can focus on them and because when I can focus on them there is usually something obstructing a clear view of the wren.<\/p>\n

In this Marsh Wren image it would have been great to have a clear view of both of the wren’s feet but I had a bent over cattail stalk in the way. Still I like the graphic lines in the image, the warm golden light, the eye contact with my subject and the relatively uncluttered background.<\/p>\n

Two days later and in the same location I photographed another Marsh Wren doing the splits and this time both feet can easily be seen, I have great eye contact and light but the background is a bit on the messy side.<\/p>\n

Maybe one day I will find a Marsh Wren doing the splits where everything in the background, foreground and view of the bird is perfect but nature is what it is and I am happy with these two images.<\/p>\n

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