Ah, the Carolina Wren. a cute little bird everyone loves to see zipping around. This one was showing off his hopping skill.

This one has something, probably a bug, in his beak and he is on a mission to take it somewhere.

He hopped all along our back fence before flying off into the woods.

The Carolina Wren has been a photography nemesis for me. The very first time I got out of the car at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens there were several perched jauntily on the pines in the parking lot, traveling up and down the rough bark that would have made an excellent background.
Excited to be near so much nature potential I thought I would have plenty of opportunities with this little bird so didn’t take any shots. I was in South Carolina, after all. Ha! Two years and many, many wren butts later these are the best images I’ve taken.
Better late than never! lol Great captures, Ellen! I always love fencing in bird shots!
LOL, always need some ongoing challenges. Now to get one less than 50 feet away!
Beautiful shots, Ellen! We have wrens here, and they are adorable birds.
Thanks, Pete! They are, and always so perky and make me smile.
Cute little bird! Would love to see more of your garden and/or around your garden, it looks amazingly lush!
We are fortunate to have acres of undeveloped woods behind us that start just at our fence. I hope it will stay just as it is. I’ll see what I can do for some images to show it off.
Oooh, please Ellen !!! That would be awesome !! What an interesting place you and Ted live in!
This, from the woman who lives in NZ! LOL, all about our perspective.
