Carolina Wren, Little Maquoketa Valley, Eastern Iowa
At this time of the year the birds are pretty quiet, they are not singing, but still communicate with chirps and chatter. We are very fortunate to have a pair of Carolina Wrens around here and the male performs sometimes his beautiful song. This can happen early in the morning, right next to the bedroom window, and it is nice to start the day like that. The Carolina Wrens are often in the underbrush or on the ground and it is not easy to get them in front of the lens. Sometimes I can hear them chattering together but hardly see them out in the open. Today I was lucky and the male showed some interest for one of our suet feeders that are provided for the woodpeckers and nuthatches. I was able to make a few clicks and I’m happy to share a picture with you.
