The Carolina Wren has one of the most remarkable songs we can hear during the winter. They are here all year long but we see them most of the time only in the cold season. I saw a pair the other day but usually only one bird shows up briefly every day. The wren moves fast and hops around between a suet feeder and the ground. Hard to make a good image that way. Yesterday, while I was out on the balcony with the camera on tripod, this Carolina Wren appeared right in front of me. They are slightly bigger than the House Wrens, who spend the summer here every year between the end of April and August.
The equipment I used for the photo was the same as mentioned in yesterday’s blog post. That little bit of flash light made all the difference again between a dull picture and one with some colors.
