Friendly Wren
Carolina Bewick’s Wren
The first morning on the ranch brought us an amazing sunrise and an outstanding day to be out looking for lifers! I didn’t know what to expect and found myself trying to carefully analyze each bird encounter. Are those House Finch really House Finch?? . . . . . then using my field guide and iPhone app . . . what other options could this bird be??

I hadn’t moved too far from our bunker and this Carolina Wren appeared to be approaching me looking for lifers . . . . . “Look English Sparrow, it is a New Yorker!!” Seriously, the Carolina Wren in Western New York look at you and b-line into thicker vegetation. I saw some potential in a few good pictures with this birdy!

I pished a few times and the Carolina Wren hopped over to the fence. Looked around for a few minutes (as my camera was going click click click) and few into the tree looking for insects!

No idea what it was looking for but I enjoyed watching this cute little wren.
Looking up there!
They are tiny and moved very fast through the trees! It fluttered around for about 10 minutes and then disappeared as quickly as it arrived.
Looking under there!
I have never had an opportunity to get such good pictures of a Carolina Bewick’s Wren as I did the first morning on the Ranch in Texas! I had only been looking for birds for my first hour and I can’t wait to show you all of the other birds I saw that day . . . . but I am going to milk these post!! SORRY!
I love these guys!

Hey Tommy – You and me too! I just love these guys. I have 2 Carolina Wrens in my yard this winter. They love my big seed block and the peanut butter I put out for them. They have got to be the cutest, perkiest birds around. And sometimes they sing too!Thanks for the neat pictures. LOB

Gosh, what a sweet little bird! I know we have them in Minnesota, but I’ve never seen one. Great photos Mon@rch!

Truly awesome pictures. Go ahead and milk your photos. They will give us something to look forward to. Carolina Wrens can be sassy little cuties too.

I just knew you’d love it! Your first hour, and already the adrenaline’s flowing! Brings back memories of my first birding trip in S. TX. Keep those posts coming! Your photos are just wonderful!

Carolina wrens are common visitors to our feeders down here & they’re the cheekiest & most amusing of “our” birds (except maybe juvenile woodpeckers first learning how to peck wood.) Our local pair enjoy hopping up to our patio door for a look inside. For wont of a better view, they’ll flutter up onto the back of my husband’s folding chair. They’ve nested in our shed (2 broods,) in the past & (of course,) are so very LOUD for such a tiny bird. We love them.

Those are some fantastic photos! However, I am reasonably certain that is a Bewick’s Wren. Just an fyi 🙂
