#WrensDay Carolina wren, CT US.
A small very rounded bird with a rusty brown top and buffy underside, a short straight bill and upward pointed perky tail stands on a cut log. Its chin is lighter colored than the underside and it has a white stripe leading backward from above the dark eye. The wings and tail have hatched check markings.

Behold my floofness!

Carolina Wren sits atop a rusted, metal post facing the camera looking a bit to the right, bill raised at a jaunty angle. Both sides of its light cinnamon colored body are fluffed out. The tip of its tail can be seen behind its head. The bold white stripe stands out against the dark brown of its head.

I spotted my first Pacific wren (ever!) hopping around the outskirts of the river inlet yesterday. Such a handsome little secretary, hopping all over the twiggy typewriter keys of the marshlet detritus. #Wrensday
Photo of a mass of sandy brown sticks and sere reeds and rushes at the foot of a ragged, shadowy stump. Perched, round as a little walnut, under a single bullrush that bends over em like a tent, is a tiny brown wren with a warmly dappled breast and a tail that barely peeks up like a rough fan behind em (eir tail is very short for a wren's). The little wren--a Pacific wren--is leaning slightly forward over two tiny pink feet (with even tinier, mealworm-y toes) and looking off to our right, showing off a little white eyebrow and a thin, decurved bill. The cold winter sun is shining brightly all around em.

Cleaning house

#wrensday
A small brown striped house wren with a white neck perches on the outside of a hollow gourd with a round hole where it has made its home. There is a fecal packet in its bill it is removing from the nest produced by one of its young.

Wrens always strike me as wonderfully twitchy little wind-up figures. Can you feel the energy stored up in this little bit of #Wrensday clockwork?
Photo of a small, round bird with a grey breast and a brown back and wings standing in right-facing profile, turned away from us but looking up and off to eir right with clear-eyed focus and intensity. E has a whitish-grey eyebrow stripe above that focused eye, and a thin, slightly decurved bill that pokes out like a record needle or very long carraway seed. Eir legs, thin brown stems with tiny talons, are planted firmly apart on the top of the silver railing of chain-link fencing on which e sits, eir speckled brown tail held pertly out behind em for balance so that, aligned with eir gaze and bill, e is like a little arrow pointing to three o'clock. This little bird is the so-called Bewick's wren, and you can almost feel the precision of eir borbed-up energy in eir stance, a little figure of feathery clockwork wound and ready to throw back eir head and sing, sing, sing.
