There are dozens of photography sites out there which specialise in hummingbirds, but I’ve never seen a photographer who specialises in wren photography! Wrens are fascinating birds, but more often heard than seen. They are often only a few yards away from forest paths, and yet so well hidden that they remain unseen.

This White-breasted Wood Wren was seen on Plantation Rd near Canopy Tower in Panama, but didn’t provide much of a photo opportunity.

The White-breasted Wood Wren is differentiated from the similar Grey-breasted Wood Wren by its mostly white underparts.
