\"OctoberOctober Marsh Wren perched on a Cocklebur \u2013 Nikon D500, f7.1, 1\/1000, ISO 500, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

Autumn arrives with a splash of color even in the marshes of Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge<\/span><\/a> in northern Utah. Four years ago I found a Marsh Wren perched on a Cocklebur on a bright October morning in the wetlands of the refuge.<\/p>\n

Marsh Wrens are perky, active, and sometimes secretive during the fall and because they aren’t singing like they do in the spring there are people who think they have migrated away from this area but Marsh Wrens are year round residents here in northern Utah.<\/p>\n

By paying attention and watching for movement in the marsh vegetation Marsh Wrens can still be found in the fall and winter at the refuge and other marshes surrounding the Great Salt Lake.<\/p>\n

I adore these tiny wrens and will photograph them every time I find them in my viewfinder.<\/p>\n

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