Sedge Wren (Cistothorus Platensis) - 07Mar2016

Sedge Wren is one of those not too uncommon birds that are hard to see because of their skulking behavior.  However, I have found that most birds will warm up to you if you just give them time.  When I saw this Sedge Wren at Fort Fisher I decided to not push the bird and stayed a healthy distance away waiting for the right moment when he/she decided it was safe to come out.  After about 25 minutes of standing stock still, he/she finally popped out long enough to snap these photos.  Now if I can just get a Black Rail to do the same thing.
