Birds > Stephen  > Animals > Wrens, Gnatcatchers and Thrushes
A collection of wrens, thrushes and waxwings. These are some very colorful and active birds. Like many other birds, their songs are especially nice. I am particularly fond of the wrens' songs.

Stephen > American Robin and one of the first pictures I ever took of a bird so it stays in the gallery. Midlothian, Texas
Stephen > This cactus wren, the largest of the wrens in the United States, paid me a quick visit at blind #1 at the Martin Refuge. It only stayed a few seconds and then it flew back into the brush. Edinburg, Texas, June 2008
Stephen > This male carolina wren was busy singing loudly making claim to its territory. I was crouched on the ground in the middle of a bunch of dead branches trying to get this shot. Luckily, this wren was so preoccupied with its singing that it pretty much ignored me for the better part of 3 to 4 minutes. Midlothian, Texas, April 2008.
Stephen > This male carolina wren was proudly proclaiming its territory or announcing itself to the females in the area. I'm not sure which. Anyhow, this shot shows its beak wide open belting out the tune. It is a tad soft as I was using AV mode set at F8. I was worried about the harsh sunset light on the back of the bird. My camera metered the light and shadows in such a way that it gave me a shutter speed of only 1/80 for this shot so with the movement it came out softer than I would like, but the image is workable. Midlothian, Texas, April 2008.
Stephen > This is a typical setting for Bewick's wrens, thick in the underbrush. Midlothian, Texas, January 2010
Stephen > I always seem to catch these wrens singing more in January through April. I suppose they are setting up territory and calling for mates. Midlothian, Texas, January 2010
Stephen > The bewick's wrens around my house are getting more active again. It is nearing that time of year when they start looking for a mate. Here I photographed it on a crepe mrytle. Midlothian, Texas, February 2009
Stephen > This time of year I can really hear the males calling with their song. Midlothian, Texas, January 2010
Stephen > This Bewick's Wren really began to belt out out a beautiful song on this brisk winter day. Midlothian, Texas, January 2008.
