I spent much of last Saturday at the Yolo basin wildlife area between 
Sacramento and Davis, where many species are beginning their springtime 
routines.  Among these is the Marsh Wren, a rocket-powered bundle of fluff 
for whom the primary activity (for the males) is defending territory, with 
song and if required, a high-speed chase through the cattails and other 
marsh veggies.

Technical stuff: R8/DMR, 560mm f/6.8 Telyt, shoulder stock & monopod, UET-R 
extension tube.
