Carolina Wren? Found in the underbrush and near ground level. Beautiful song...
Wetland
This bird, as with many small songbirds, has proven difficult to photograph.
Thank you once again Liam for your assistance, this time in identifying the Carolina Wren :)
Not sure I know how to do that, but Ill try to figure it out. Liam helped me identify my photo of Yellow Palm Warbler, so yes I would like his opinion. Its a tough call on this wren, me thinks :)
Joseph, Liam is our resident bird expert so maybe you could add a link to this to one of his spottings & get his opinion!
I agree its one or the other. What has me wondering is the song, I played them both on that website and the carolina was the one that was familiar to me. Right down to the angry chatter which I heard this bird sing this after noon. Yet I agree this birds bill seems to long. Both are sooo similar...sigh...this is the fun of science. But I will go with your expert opinions. I have different angle photos to offer if you like :)
Thanks Karen, I'll check it out. I wasnt sure about the I.D., it was the closest comparison I found in an old birding book of mine :)
The bill looks to be too long for the Carolina wren.
Marsh wren (Cistothorus palustris) perhaps? http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Marsh...
