Here in CNY we are treated to the ubiquitous house wren, the skulking winter wren during migration, and the noisy but elusive to the camera marsh wren in our wetlands. While the Carolina wren is making inroads into the northeast, I had never seen this relatively confiding songster. Ironically, during our 8-day stay, this was the ONLY Carolina wren I saw throughout the entire state of Florida....and wouldn't you know? He refused to step out of the shadows for a good photo.
