House Wren - Arastradero

House Wren singing in the morning sun, Pearson-Arastradero Preserve, Palo Alto, California. This photo was taken in the early spring, the nesting season for many bird species in central California. This bird seemed quite active, singing and dancing from limb to limb. For this photograph I was able to position myself such that the distance behind the bird was far enough to create a nice blur of the background meadow.
