Synopsis:
This was a spontaneous shoot as I noticed an unusual bird flitting around the brush pile in my backyard. Sure enough, it was a Rock Wren which hung around for about an hour or so. I managed to get some fairly close shots of the bird as I snuck up on it with my 600mm lens which I had just got back from the shop.

New Yard Bird! ROCK WREN. Morning of 12 November 2017
I found this bird flitting around the small brush pile in my back yard. It would favor the brush pile and adjacent well pit cover, flying back and forth for about a half hour. I managed to get great shots of this bird from a distance of about 15 yards with my 600mm lens (on the Nikon D500)
