Just say 'wren'

We saw this Carolina Wren at Piedmont Environmental Center in Jamestown last week. It was in the company of chickadees, nuthatches and finches.

Carolina Wrens, the state bird of South Carolina, prefer a warm climate and tend to stay in their home territory year-round. It has a long, thin, slightly decurved bill, perfect for picking insects out of tree bark.

Carolina Wrens were my favorite bird of Georgia. Every now and then a Particularly curious one would fly into our house.
