Loud Calls
There’s one bird that let you know is around before you have a chance to see it. That’s the Carolina Wren. His calls and songs are always loud.
I don’t know if you have ever noticed how loudly his voice carries in the open and it’s a distinctive call, also their song is powerful and clear.
These birds are very active and by any means not shy, they have the ability to quickly get hold of a seed or nut of any kind from a feeder and leave the scene rapidly to eat in safe comfort. They always find the way to sneak in and out and pick some food to eat even if the feeder is busy with other birds.
Once he’s finished eating, flies and perches on a high point and begins his calls and songs. More so when there’s a mate near by.
He has the habit of flicking his tail up and down. This bird has a chisel-like pointy bill with a curve downward.
I’ve seen a lot of these birds this year, I hope that they return next year.

We have a blue wren, but I don’t recall it’s call. We get a constant call from a bellbird, and it is seldom seen.
Thank you for sharing Barbara! 🙂
This is an attractive little bird; quite endearing. Your shots are lovely as usual.
Thanks so much Clare! 🙂
I love the birds. Thanks for sharing. 😀
Thank you very much! 🙂
So cute! I had that house-full of house wrens but they never came to the feeders so I thought wrens only ate insects. The Carolina wrens must be different from house wrens in that regard?
Both are omnivores. Thanks Amy for sharing! 🙂
Hmmm, interesting! Thanks, H.J! 🙂
