This morning, as I was looking out the kitchen window, our neighborhood Carolina Wren flew directly to the back door under the small porch and started exploring every nook & cranny gleaning for insects. As I watched through the storm door, it climbed up a raincoat and busily examined gardening baskets, tools, everything, softly trilling all the while. By the way, I have not seen this trill described in any of the several bird books I have. The trill is similar to that of the T.Titmouse, but longer and more musical. It does appear briefly in the /first/ example for CAWR in the Macaulay Library audio list, but not in any other examples that I checked some years ago. Our wren trills very often, signaling its presence long before any loud song. Nari Mistry, Ellis Hollow Rd
