A good picture missed... CURIOUS little bird!

Joshua, TX

I was standing right up against a tree this morning, listening to the birds... and this little guy, HA HA, decided he needed a better look I guess, and flew over to the tree, but landed on my camera lens. I jumped because it startled me, and he flapped wildly in front of me before flying off just a very short distance and looked at the tree... or me like what was that? It all happened in an instance and scared the crap out of me, and him for that matter, but when it was over I just laughed and thought Man, that would've been a neat picture! I have never had that happen before!

Geesch, that would really startle anyone holding the camera. Do you think it saw its reflection on the camera lens?
It's sure a cutie.

I don't know??? I wonder if it thought the camera was part of the tree or something??? It was funny thought. Good thing it was a little bird...

Could also be it had a nest nearby?

I'm not sure if there was a nest there or not? There's always a ton of carolina wrens there in the morning???
