Carolina wren

Description:

The Carolina Wren is one of my backyard birds that comes to the feeders. They reside in the eastern United States. Has a beautiful song. It is about 5 inches long, brown, light yellowish-beige belly, large white stripe over each eye, and a whitish throat and often holds its tail up when perched. Carolina Wrens live in thickets, forests, marshes, parks, streamsides, and gardens. They like brushy areas with lots of shrubs and vines. These birds live here year-round. In the Spring, Carolina Wrens build a nest out of sticks, grass, weeds, leaves, moss, pine needles, rootlets, bark strips, hair, feathers, string, and other bits of trash.
