I have come to the conclusion that nature photography, mainly wildlife, is the only thing i don't get bored with easily. That is especially true this time of year. There is always something new to photograph. And, it gets me away from people and the sounds of traffic. Just listening to birds can really be calming.

Very nice. But I think that's a House Wren.

Thanks guys. I was torn between House and Sedge Wren but due to the environment where I found it, in a wildlife area near a slough, I'd decided to go with Sedge Wren. From what I read, House Wrens are more likely found in back yards. But, it's not the first time I could be wrong and it sure won't be the last time.

Sure looks like a House Wren to me. I photograph many House Wrens every year......I don't recall any of them being anywhere near backyards - they do quite well in very remote wilderness areas.

"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".
