Who's that Girl . . . er, I Mean Bird?

Bird update. After a couple of inquiries, I think we've nailed the identity of our mystery bird as the Carolina Wren.













Here are some interesting facts about the Carolina Wren. Did you know?


  • The Carollina Wren uses the skin of snakes, hair, feathers and many other materials to build their dome-shaped nests.
  • They are known to build multiple nests to confuse predators.
  • It is the state bird of South Carolina.
  • A group of wrens has many collective nouns, including a "chime", "flight", "flock", and "herd" of wrens.

What do you think? Carolina Wren or something else? I was unsure at first, but apparently the white line on the head is a marker.
