Big thanks up front for the help.
Open up the lens to a wide aperture (to maximize the 'out of focus area'), and if AF is problematic, switch to quick-shift or manual to touch it up.
Better yet, get right up to fence and position the lens between the wires.
protip: Use circular polarizers to eliminate reflections on glass windowed enclosures.
