We heard the Carolina wren singing its sweet little “teakettle” song which led us to the bird. The wren might be making a nest in the log. You can see the wren’s shadow on the log in the third photograph.

Lovely captures. He’s a cute little guy.
Yes, wrens are sweet.
Nice photos of the Carolina wren. I’m fascinated when bloggers identify birds by their songs…how do you it?! I’m confident of only a crow’s caw. lol.
I hope it’s nest building is going smoothly. Fantastic spot for one!
I recently learned to tell the difference between a raven and a crow. It takes me ages to learn a call. The Carolina wren call not too hard to learn. You can play its song here https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Carolina_Wren/id
My kiddos and I recently learned to tell the difference between a raven and a crow. But I don’t remember too well now. ack, my terrible memory!!
I can imagine the difficulty of discerning bird sounds. But yay, you know the Carolina wren. They sound marvelous and musical. Thank you for sending the link. It’s a fantastic website to learn about birds. We’ll check it out some more.
You can play the songs on that site. 🙂
So very well captured, Sherry. Wonderful images, especially the singing beak and the shadow
Thanks Derrick. Wrens remind me of European robins.
I once spent almost a full year trying to track down the bird that was singing far more loudly than a mockingbird around my apartment. When I finally spotted it, it was a wren: such a big voice in such a small bird! The second photo’s adorable.
Carolina wrens are remarkably loud. The bubbling song of a house wren is a little less noisy. Thanks for the comment.
