The house wren is the powerhouse of the woods, the mitochondria of the copse. #Wrensday

Happy #Wrensday! This is one of the "Wrens of Sycamore Manor" (toting something in its beak -- cottonwood fuzz?).

Northern house wrens are usually pretty furtive and secretive, but they love to come out and perch for a bit of buzzing, "scolding," and churring. This one was alternately flitting about in a tangled pile of windsnap then popping out for sun and song. #Wrensday

Oops I almost forgot - happy #Wrensday !

Superb Fairy-wrens being superb

Some of my favourite hashtags:

Also SilentSunday - not putting the hashtag in front of it so as not to clutter it. That one should be just that hashtag and a nice photo of yours with alt-text. I scroll past all SilentSunday toots with multiple hashtags and text (apart from alt) and won't boost them. It isn't you, it's me - this is how I first learnt how it should be, just a calm stream of nice photos.

Happy #Wrensday! This one (eventually) hopped into a little patch of sunshine.

Bonus: While I was photographing the wren, a turkey vulture drifted into home airspace. It was quickly escorted away by an F-16 Blackbird.
