Carolina Wren’s have been a tough bird for me to capture. This one surprised me when he chose a nice open branch for a few moments.
After foraging in the grass for a bit the wren took to the trees again, landing in a sunny spot.

Carolina Wren
I recently posted that it took me almost three years to get a decent image of a Carolina Wren. Two days later another opportunity presented itself, complete with a snack!
Why Fly When You Can Hop
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.
