Hanging Out

Carolina Wren, bird feeder — Hanging Out.

More often than not, Carolina Wrens are heard rather than seen. One recent sunny morning, however, I found this Carolina Wren taking a dip in the backyard birdbath. After its morning bath, the wren flew to the feeder hanging on the back porch. It stayed there for several minutes, satisfied to let the sun dry its earth-tone feathers.

“Haning Out” is my Photo of the Week.

I love watching/listening to the birds that visit my birdfeeders. Never seen a Carolina Wren but maybe they are just shy around my neighborhood (or maybe I live far enough from their usual stomping grounds that they’ve never visited my neighborhood). Thanks for the pic. Really enjoy your blog.
