Carolina Wren

Note to self since I confuse wrens and sparrows! The bills of a wren are long, thin, and curved because they eat largely insects. The bills of sparrows (house and white-throated) are short and deep because they eat seeds. that makes sense!

#11 of 11 of the birds in my garden this snowy week is the Carolina Wren. I confuse it with the White-throated Sparrow, which I often think is a Wren and so, hey, photo opportunities are look-up-close educational opportunities in reality. That white stripe swooshed upon the head is a grand indication of the Carolina Wren. Look at that under-tail fur too! This bird was created for eating in any position from any feeder. It is a can-do bird! February 2025

This is a Caronlina Wren. These are normal birds! They do not do too many crazy things!
