The Carolina Wren (Thryothorus
ludovicianus) occurs across much of the eastern
half of the United States, but it is essentially thought of as
a bird of the southeast. Its loud and lively song is one commonly
heard in suburban areas of virtually every city of the South
and it often nests in hanging baskets or bird houses that people
put out to attract it. It occurs in a wide range of habitats
from forests to swamps to old field edges and golf course borders.
It is a very familiar species to many of us. The first Carolina
Wren shown here was photographed in November, 2002, in Bastrop
State Park, Bastrop Co., Texas with a Canon EOS 1V and Canon
EF500mm F4L IS lens with a 2X extender on Fuji Velvia. The bottom
Carolina Wren was a digital capture with a Canon EOS D60 and
600 mm F4L IS lens in Gonzales Co., TX in January 2003.
