What a flurry of activity in my backyard ( Meadowlark Dr. near Sapsucker
woods) the last week. A pair of juncos are building a nest on my deck and a
pair of Carolina wrens apparently are building one way back in the yard.
Beaks full of grasses, etc. I've never heard so many different songs and
The pair of Carolina wrens that ate peanut we put out during winter hahe had 4
fledgelings since a few days ago. Today the fledgelings are finding bugs on
their own. Dave Streater, Ithaca.

I was interested in Dave Nutter’s recent reports on a pair of Carolina wrens
that successfully nested in a hanging planter on his back porch. It was just a
few days after his first report (7/18) that we noticed Carolina wrens carrying
nesting material to a hanging basket of fuchsia suspended
feeders -- although I think I
am one of the only residents on Lansing Station Road that keeps feeders full in
winter ( all year round).

Hi all,
There are 2 Carolina Wrens attempting to build nests in hanging baskets on my
porch. Is that normal behavior? Should I discourage them? I'm not sure how I'll
be able to water the plants without damaging the nests. What will happen to
them over the winter?

Hi Laura,
yes very common for Carolina Wren. They are very gregarious and tolerant of
people. I've had them do that almost every year in my hanging basket right next
to my front door, and have babies fledge successfully. I was always very
careful to not water so much that the bottom of the nest
I have had one Carolina Wren here all winter, and lately have been seeing two
at once, at my feeder railings. I have heard their songs a lot over the months.
Tough little cuties.

Early this morning we finally got two Carolina Wrens together at the suet
feeder. All February only one would visit and we wondered what had happened, or
whether they were just taking turns.
We have had a pair of Carolina Wrens visit our feeders for many years in
winter; in spring summer we
I always have a Carolina Wren singing all winter, and he makes part of his
living by cleaning up the bits of suet on the ground under the feeder that the
woodpeckers waste. But for the last week I have had two Carolina Wrens coming
together on suet cleanup duty. My impression was that the
Hi John and all,
Perhaps the answer may be that it's no longer winter for them. The earliest New
York State egg date for Carolina Wren is something like April first.

Ah, I should have looked at the Lab's page on Carolina Wrens first: says there
they don't migrate at all and stay paired all year. Funny I haven't noticed in
the winter the countersinging they do all the time in the spring. Alicia
Plotkin tells me that hers do that in the winter too.
I had one here in Syracuse this AM

I also enjoyed Carolina Wren, which has wintered here, singing in a.m. in
Liverpool on Shoreview. Also had Brown Creeper at suet.

I know it's a little far west for this listserv but I saw/heard 2 CAROLINA
WRENS on the west side of Canandaigua Lake, about 2 miles down West Lake road.
I also had a SHARP-SHINNED HAWK fly over. It was an exciting morning!

I went outside this bright sunny morning to get some firewood and was
surprised to hear two Carolina Wrens singing from different parts of the
yard. I had assumed I'd been seeing only one over the past month, but
perhaps both are showing up at my feeders
