| The Marsh Wren (Cistothorus palustris) breeds in marshes across the northern half of the United States and much of Canada as well as many coastal locations along the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts of the U.S. It can be a very common species in many cattail marshes. There are as many as 14 recognized subspecies of Marsh Wrens, so there are considerable variations of song and plumage among these different populations. The birds in the first seven shots of this page were all at Bear River Refuge, Box Elder Co., Utah, in June, 2001. All these images were taken with a Canon EOS 3 and EF 500mm F/4 L IS lens and 1.4X extender on Fuji Provia film. |  |

| Well, I suppose there is no getting away from the fact that Bear River N.W.R. certainly appears to be my favorite place to photograph singing Marsh Wrens. The next 12 images were taken there in June, 2007, with a Canon EOS 1D Mark III and EF 600m F/4 L IS lens and 2X extender. |  |
