Nice shots Bill. You seem to have some magic connections with Carolina Wrens

Thank you Jack,
The Wrens have been very helpful for me. The woodpile that I have mentioned is about 25 yards from the tidal marsh. At least one pair, might be 2, of Carolina Wrens, a Winter Wren, a Hermit Thrush and a bunch of White Throated Sparrows treat it like a fast food stop. Sit quietly watching the pile and within a few minutes one or another will stop by.
I noticed rhat the Wrens mostly come qnd go from the pile via an invisible airborn coradore to the marsh. So I started staking out their route. The fallen log is on that path and seemed a natural a l pit stop for them.
I keep returning there because a use the woodpeckers also frequent the area, and I hope the fallen log and woodpile. I'm hoping to improve my Woodpecker images.
I had a beautiful Red bellied Woodpecker there the other day but I couldn't get a clean shot of him.
I'm thinking this may also be a good spot for photographing some mammals that may frequent the area but no luck other than squirrels so far.

Nice work and thanks for the tip on using a flash.

Thanks Craig,
I only started working with the flash in the last month. I like the results but it forces me to work off a tripod.
FYI
I'm using an off camers speedlight, set in line with my lens but 8" higher than if on the hot show. Flash is on manual set to HighSpeedSync and I'm using an older Flash Modifier like the Better Beamer with my flash dialed down to 1/8 power ( the less light the less power)
