[rba] [mou] Carolina Wren/Otter Tail Co

[Dan & Sandy Thimgan]

Just as the light began to fail last evening (10/21), a wren flew  
into our feeders.  At first, looking like a Red-breasted Nuthatch on  
steroids, binoculars revealed an adult Carolina Wren.  It moved about  
the feeder giving us good looks.  It made one more appearance ten  
minutes later where it foraged around our deck in the half light.   
This morning, in a steady drizzle, there is little feeder activity.   
We'll post again if it returns.

Interestingly, we heard what must have been this bird briefly singing  
an abbreviated version of its song in the middle of the afternoon but  
couldn't spot it.  The song was loud enough to be heard over the  
sound of our lawnmower!
