Just now, I went to clean off an old Carolina Wren nest from a nest shelf on my
back porch. I left it there all winter thinking they could roost in it (which
they did). Good thing I checked it before taking it down, because it had 3 eggs
in it! Those eggs were not there 2 weekends ago when I
Reynold the wren has been a regular around the feeders and has totally taken
advantage of the mix I have kept out for him (lard, peanut butter, chick mash
etc.). The Titmice have also been feeding on it. Yesterday, he beckoned in the

After I posted i continued to search and found this JOURNAL ARTICLE

Throughout the winter our feeders have been visited by a small c. Wren. Today
it was joined by a notably larger one. Probably the other half of the pair that
has nested here for several years. There is a clear size difference in that
pair. If sex doesn’t account for size differentiation

Went out through the front part of my house this morning (I’m renovating that
half the house and don’t use/heat it) and was pleasantly surprised by a
Carolina Wren that had obviously taken shelter from the cold and wind. I don’t

Been seeing a Carolina Wren a few times in the last few days days - in my
feeder and rooting around in the leaves on the ground. A first!

The pair of Carolina Wrens we have been feeding all winter have 4 or 5
fledgelings, which are growing rapidly and very active. Tey are now eating
some bugs and peant butter on their own, though the parents still seem to be
feeding them.

Big day for Shirley.
A CAROLINA WREN appeared beneath the suet feeder, picking up a few scraps
dropped by the woodpeckers. We will have to wait to see if it is one of the
wrens from previous years. They have nested in the eaves of the garage.
Not only that, but they have endured the constant
There was a surprise visitor at our feeder this morning during the
snowstorm: a rather plump-looking Carolina Wren. It was clinging to the
suet feeder diligently picking at the suet while around it a mix of
Sparrows and Juncos worked the seed fallen from our other feeder.
I don't recall seeing it

A year or two ago, I put chicken wire around our double-caged
suet-feeder (suet cage inside a bigger feeder cage) to stop the
red-squirrel from sitting inside all day and excluding birds from the
suet. This frustrated the squirrel all right, and small birds could get
in and out. But I noticed

Nice post. And here's perhaps an explanation for your Goldfinches, maybe
they were just wondering what all the excitement was about. : )

Goldfinches are among the strictest vegetarians in the bird world,

At 3:15 p..m. today we saw our 1st ever Carolina Wren here at our house, in the
barn feeder atop the clothesline arm. After pecking at some seeds it inspected
inside one of the birdboxes on the next clothesline arm. What a treat on this
lovely, sunny, cold day.
This a.m. a gray squirrel was
As I was sweeping a path to and around the feeders this beautifully snowy
Christmas dawning, the only sound to be heard was the soft caroling of 'tea
kettle, tea kettle, tea kettle' over and over again. Then a Crow and a Tree
Sparrow added their part.
Merry Christmas everyone!

We saw two Carolina wrens in our back yard on west hill this morning, FOY for
us. We're looking forward to hearing them. Marsha and Fred Kardon

Hi,
I had a Carolina Wren this morning. It's not a new visitor, but uncommon for us.

Late afternoon yesterday, with much commotion on the parents parts, 3 baby
Carolina wrens left their nest, little things with no tails. Papa and mama
got them settled down before the adults made many trips to the suet feeder
and back to the babies. This morning I heart a lot of gentle chattering
Yesterday, at 11:30am I heard a Carolina wren (FOY for me) in my backyard, but
couldn't find it. Today, it turned up on top of one of our bird feeders,
calling again. M

taught me a valuable lesson this summer about earbirding with caution!

Talking about strange vocalizations, a few times in the last week or two I've
found a Carolina Wren (got a visual ID at about 5' away) making a croaking
sound. It was definitely not it's typical song, but each time was at 7 AM and

A Carolina Wren is singing loudly just outside my window right now as I
sit at my desk. I can see his throat action as he sings. He has been
flitting up down the spruce branches within 15 ft. of my window. Now
he is trying out a whole variety of songs in his repertoire! Possibly he

He may very well be at your window. Around my house the window trim,
eaves and rafter tails are good places to find spiders, flies, and
other tasty items, and the Carolina Wrens are not shy about
investigating them.

I had a Caroline wren on a suet feeder this morning, a happy
occasion. I am not sure I have ever seen one in the winter before:
brilliant, beautiful coloring against the snow.

Yesterday while I was waiting for the bus I heard a cheery chirp of our
neighborhood little fellow (Carolina Wren) in spite of temp being in single
digit. He entertained me while I was waiting for a short time while waiting
for the bus, may be just about two minutes.. Somewhere nearby there
I was surprised this week to see a Carolina Wren had taken up residence
in my garage. It has the advantage of no door and only a few feet from
the feeders, good living.
