Day 295: Winter Wren

I've been trying to get a photo of a Winter Wren for a while, and I finally managed to snag one a few weekends ago while we were visiting Assateague. These little guys never want to behave for the camera. We saw several on one trail, but they kept flying away or hiding in deep brush where I couldn't get a clear shot. It was lunch time, we were starving, but I vowed that I would get a photo before giving up!

FINALLY...one popped out from a thicket, and I managed a few fuzzy shots. I'm happy to check it off of my list.

Winter Wrens winter across southeastern Canada and the eastern United States. They can be identified by the light colored eyebrows over their eyes.
