carolina wren

Thryothorus ludovicianus

Description:

The Carolina wren has a warm rusty brown head and back with an orange yellow chest and belly. White throat and a prominent white eye stripe. A short stubby tail, often cocked up. The female is same as male.

Habitat:

This is one of our backyard birds. It was snowing and birds were active at the bird feeders and suet. This little Carolina wren was determined to get his share, even to the point of sharing the suet with a dark-eyed junco and sometimes shooing them away. .
