Jenny, It does surprise me too. I try to help them by providing food and water. I love watching the gathering I get at my heated bird bath. I think it might be the only free water in the neighborhood. I get Carolina Chickadees, Eastern Bluebirds, Hairy Woodpeckers, American Robins, American Goldfinches, Tufted Titmice and Mourning Doves.

Jenny, It is definitely a wren with the short tail sticking up. my guess is a winter wren. the only other wren it could be would a Carolina wren. the Carolina wren has a white eye strip where in the winter wren the eye strip is a dull gray.
