The Carolina Wren,
Thryothorus ludovicianus, is a resident of the eastern half of the United States. They will come to suet feeders in the winter, and they like chopped peanuts, shelled out sunflower seeds, and mealworms. In warmer weather they eat a wide variety of insects.
Keeping a brush pile in your yard to give them shelter will encourage them to stay with you.

I have a pair of Carolina Wrens nesting in a hanging basket plant on my front porch. If you look closely, you can see the eggs. But I will stay away from the nest until they hatch. I hope I can get photos of the babies!
Have a wonderful day!

I saw a wren IRL recently!
ReplyDeleteThey're pretty birds.
ReplyDeleteThe males are quite persistent with their song trying to get a female to check out the nest or birdhouse they have. They are fun birds to have around.
ReplyDeleteSweet birds!
ReplyDeletea sweet, little bird :)
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, they are so sweet. It's wonderful to have their song as part of the garden choir. :)
ReplyDeleteHow amazing that you have them nesting in your hanging plant! I would think watering it would make things too wet for a nest. How awesome you will get to see the babies hatch! Gorgeous photos, by the way!
