I heard the (male, I'm assuming) Carolina Wren singing, and it felt very =
close to my house. Then, there was a slight rustle in the bush next to =
my house (south side), that kind of staccato shake that only means it is =
a bird in there. I waited, and surely enough, it was the wren that was =
singing! He must've been over a yard away from me, and he sung twice =
untill he got too cautious of me and flew to a low branch on an oak. =
About a minute later, I heard a very loud, descending rattle, somewhat =
like that of a Belted Kingfisher. More movement in the bush, and the =
(female) Carolina Wren showed itself. I tried to get a few (REALLY =
crappy) pictures before it flew off, and I have yet to view them on my =
cheap digital camera. It's getting warmer...
