These were taken on the last day of April.
While reading in my comfy chair, I heard the most beautiful bird song. It took me a while to find the source. Once I did I saw a pretty Carolina Wren singing sweet, loud and clear. You can listen to their song here.

If you want to find out more information, you can go to this link.
"Unlike other wren species" read here, "only the male Carolina Wren sings the loud song. In other species, such as the Stripe-breasted Wren of Central America, both members of a pair sing together. The male and female sing different parts, and usually interweave their songs such that they sound like a single bird singing."
Also,
"One captive male Carolina Wren sang nearly 3,000 times in a single day." probably saying "Let me out of here!" poor thing!
"The oldest recorded Carolina Wren was at least 7 years, 8 months old when it was recaptured and rereleased during banding operations in Florida in 2004. It had been banded in the same state in 1997."
I read that and more interesting facts about the Wren here.
The day before I saw one on the rail of the deck out back.
According to the website, both males and females have the same coloring.
Here's me wishing your weekend is off to a good start, and whatever you are doing, I hope it is a happy one.

Thank you for hosting Ladies!
He is just adorable! I love the little Wrens!! And I almost never see any.
ReplyDeleteI love them too Ginny and my wrens haven't been around for a while.
DeleteWhat an amazing song. Sadly I agree with you about that poor captive. As a child I had a caged bird (a peach-faced rosella) which I dearly loved. I feel very guilty about that now (not the loving it, but the keeping it caged).
ReplyDeleteWe had a budgie when as kids. Never gave it much thought at that age but I do remember letting it out of its cage a lot. We had a cat we used to lock out of the room!!! The twain never did meet thank goodness.
DeleteI like Carolina wrens. Such cute birds!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way, they always make me smile.
Deletethank you so much - I had never heard that sweet song
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome, I remember hearing it for the first time and was so surprised that such a loud song was coming out of that tiny little bird.
DeleteThat reminds me - I haven't seen my wren for some time.
ReplyDeleteThere's noting like birdsong for soothing the mind, especially that of the wren.
I agree about birdsong being very soothing.
DeleteHello, the wren does have a pretty song, very loud too. Great collection of wren photos. Take care, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen, I wish you the same.
DeleteWe really don't know much about birds. they are very interesting critters.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are, agree wholeheartedly.
