A Carolina Wren on a Cloudy Day

This is a Carolina Wren that I chanced upon at Morton Refuge. It was a very overcast day and a rainfall was a real possibility. In fact, I had been hustling to make it back to my truck in order to evade the oncoming storm when I heard this little guy chattering away. I really like Carolina Wrens but I don’t get many opportunities to photograph them. It’s not that they are particularly rare, but they don’t sit still for long. I suspect they drink a lot of coffee. So when I spotted this guy, I did not have any high hopes but, look, you always have to try. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. And despite the lousy lighting, I did manage to capture these shots before the rain began. I hope you like them. JK.

This perhaps not-so-spectacular diminutive bird is a molting Carolina Wren. Now, in most circumstances, this feisty little bird would appear to be quite beautiful. And, actually, this guy is still a looker, just so long as you don’t look too closely. And, as evidenced in the photo below, this guy is still convinced that he’s Prom King material. Despite his ragged looks, he is still singing his song. JK

This is a pair of shots of a Carolina Wren. I came across it at Frank Melville Memorial Park in Setauket while I was walking through the park with a friend. Isn’t this a cute little bird? It was a good day for birds, both big and small. On the same visit we also saw two Wild Turkeys. How cool is that? Frank Melville is a great park. If you’re ever in the neighborhood, you should really check it out. JK
