We interrupt these recent posts on the wetland wanderings to share a few photos of some familiar backyard feathers – one of my favorite birds (please don’t keep track of how often I say that!) the Carolina Wren.
This lovely, lively little fellow has a volume that greatly surpasses his size, and a pretty extensive song repertoire too – up to about 40 songs.
Don’t you just love his warn, rich color tones! I don’t know if it was today’s lighting or what, but he seemed extra coppery. I even thought about naming him Abe!
These wrens are so much fun to have around with their perky, peppy personalities.
They are not picky eaters, though they do show a preference for the peanuts and the mealworms.
Having a change of scenery and taking pictures of different birds in different places is fun (and there will be more Florida posts to follow), but I think there’s something to be said for Dorothy’s words, “There’s no place like home!”

One of my favorite backyard characters too, Kathy. Darting here & there overhead, loudly sounding off the whole time. I sometimes reply as I hurry out with my offerings, Ok! Ok! I’m coming.
I just love it when they hop up the deck stairs, one step at a time!
They are so pretty – what colour they have! Thanks for sharing.
They are equal parts pretty and peppy!
Beautiful shots.
Thank you!
Love your wren! I’m on my way home too, looking forward to being home though I had a great time away.
Safe travels!
Beautiful AND talented! Of course you are allowed to proclaim your favourites!
What a sweet little bird. Thanks for the lovely shots.
