Field Notes
Description:
The Carolina Wren is a small but chunky bird with a round body and a long tail that it often cocks upward. The head is large with very little neck, and the distinctive bill marks it as a wren: long, slender, and downcurved.
Both males and females are a bright, unpatterned reddish-brown above and warm buffy-orange below, with a long white eyebrow stripe, dark bill, and white chin and throat.
Habitat:
Radnor Lakes state park.
Notes:
I watched this little guy for several minutes foraging in the leaf litter completely oblivious to my presence but most of my photos are just a blur of wings! He finally noticed me & hopped off!
