I was finally able to feast my eyes on the Carolina Wren! It hung out a =
lot in my neighbor's yard, so I went to ask what she puts out for them. =
She has a shallow, heated waterdish near a bush that it likes to hang =
out at. She puts twigs in there, too, but I don't know if that makes a =
difference or not. As for food, she does not have any mealworms. While I =
was talking with her, the wren visited a few times to her deck feeder =
(along with a House Sparrow, chickadees, and juncos), just a few yards =
away, and it seemed to like the popcorn. Another possibility is that it =
could be eating sunflower hearts (since its beak is not strong enough to =
crack sunflower seeds open) and shelled peanuts. At times it was puffed =
out a bit, just as any bird would be on a cold day, but many times it =
brought its head up high to see us through the window. However, we are =
both going to buy some dried mealworms to see if that works. I believe =
this bird was an adult.
For directions to view the Carolina Wren, please e-mail. Good =
