    Thanks Jeff. There is a pair that hang out in our back yard, and they are quite bold.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Very sharp Glenn, I notice some noise in the background. What ISO were you using? We have Wrens in the UK but the are very small, smaller than Chickadees. Are these about the size of a Sparrow?

    Great bokeh too.

    I was shooting at iso 400 on my 1d mkIIn.
    I also shoot with a 5D mkII, which would have been a much better choice for these shots.
    I also usually use noise ninja in my process, and probably forgot to this time.

    Yes they are about the size of sparrows, maybe even a bit larger. We also have some small wrens like the winter wren.
