A Bit Bedraggled

There's a spot of shade on the patio, so I set up my tripod and aimed my camera in the direction of the hummingbird feeder.  Business was slow, probably due to the incredible heat and humidity.  Behind me I heard squawking that went on for several minutes.  All that sound was coming out of this little Carolina Wren.  Since I had the tripod, I was able to turn down the speed so I could get a decent shot in the shadow of the trees, without requiring a crazy high ISO.  It looks like this wren is heading into molting season.  He needs a new tail feather or two.

A huge thank you for your lovely comments on my dahlia yesterday!
