This Morning Outside

In the grassy field it was foggy this morning. Sedge wrens were in full song, despite damp feathers.

This little guy really threw himself into his singing. His song is just a couple of chip notes followed by a trill, but he sing it all day every day. I truly do not know when he eats.

See a 7-second movie of this sedge wren singing. It's small and short, but it gives you a taste of his song.
