Carolina Wren (Fledgling)

Description:

A small, chunky bird with a round body and a long tail that it often cocks upward. It has a distinctive bill, which is long, slender, and downcurved. Both males and females have bright, unpatterned reddish-brown coloring on their back and wings, with tan-orange underparts. They also have a long white eyebrow stripe. This bird was very fluffy, and I'm guessing is still a fledgling. Whenever the wind blew on this little bird, you could see black underneath (see the 4th picture).

Habitat:

Sitting on top of a wood pile at Pratt Nature Center. I could see its siblings hopping around in the protection of the wood pile with their mother, but this little bird was the only one brave enough to sit on top.
