Jeff writes about this image;
I photographed this Marsh Wren in the wilds of the high Okanogan country in north Central Washington state about 10 miles south of the Canadian border from a Zodiac [boat]. I floated among the reeds along the shore of the small Lost Lake for almost two hours waiting for the tiny bird to fetch some cattail for its nearby nest.
