After discovering I had 2 Carolina Wrens on my property, I have been trying
to get photos. I actually think I have 3 Carolinas. Maybe 2 adults and one
pretty much grown up youngster. They move around all over, but challenge
you when you are near them. Today I had 2 out singing and thought I had one
more in the dense brush behind them. They have kept partially covered with
no photos oportunities (unless I was out without my camera) for the past
week. Today, they posed beautifully and even gave me a great in flight
shot. Several of the photos show the 2nd wren blurred in the background.
If anyone can tell if any of the photos show a 1st year bird, let me know.
Here is a link to photos from this morning:

Also, we were up at the cabin in Wisconsin over the 4th. I had one Bald
Eagle that followed us around fishing and then came in scooping up any
bluegilll the grandkids hooked too deeply (thrown back into the lake
injured). So I had some fairly nice flight/feeding shots(though into the
sun some). Also, one bird perched above the dock that gave me some great
spread wing views and odd poses. If any of you have interest, here is the
link with those photos, including a nice Purple Finch too:
