Virginia Winter Birds: OMG CUTE!


...also known as the Winter Wren.

I found this guy foraging in leaf litter at Dutch Gap. He was unusually bold for a Winter Wren: a species that usually creeps, mouselike, through the undergrowth. This one repeatedly came out into plain view, practically at my feet, which afforded me the opportunity for several good photos.

The one I found at Pocahontas Park was more typical. Only after I sat quietly on the boardwalk for awhile did he become bold enough (or curious enough) to hop out into the open for a moment.
