Oh, the Carolina Wrens…crazy little buggers. If we don’t close our mailbox at our front door, they will nest in it. I’ve had them nesting in Christmas wreaths on the door. An old doggie wash tub, hung up on the fence, backwards, became a yearly nest for a returning pair…until the squirrels got into it.
They can be as fussy as Mockingbirds. I can hear them, now…”Yid, yid, yid, yid, yid, yid, yid…!!!” I call them the marshmallow peeps of the world because that is what they remind me of, in shape. Little bandits (markings). They tickle the hell out of me.
Wrens are indeed so tiny. We had the ordinary kind one year under the terrace. But we have too many cats in the area, and European wrens nest on the ground. The Carolina version looks and sounds very pretty.
The Carolina Wrens are characters! They can sound so pretty, like your video but they also have this very loud, scolding type of sound they make when they’re trying to scare the other birds from the feeders. I can hear them from inside when my windows are open.

I’m guessing it is, anne. Two others have tagged it with that name. Thanks for chiming in.

We see/hear this one every year, still don’t know where they nest. “Marshmallow peeps” really does fit them! Thanks so much for sharing.

Carolina Wren! We’ve had a couple of families raise babies on our porches! Got to witness flight school one year. It was the cutest!

Cats and ground nests do not mix well, or two well for the cats! Thanks for joining in.

I also thought of the Carolina wren, but usually their tails are cocked; this one has its tail pointed down, which threw me off.

I’m not up on bird tails at all! The consensus seems to be that this is, in fact a Carolina Wren. Thanks for joining in the discussion, Suzanne.
