Carolina Wren.....

The Carolina Wren is a busy little bird.....here, there and everywhere. It likes the suet and will check out all of the suet cakes.

Notice the tail stuck out for balance

He checks every feeder. He doesn't eat sunflower seeds and I don't buy much else, but he does peck at the peanuts that I have been sprinkling in the dish for the Titmice and Chickadees.

When he is on the ground, he hops around so fast that usually just about the time the camera focuses, he has moved to a new spot.

Back to the suet....back and forth, back and forth....busy at all times. It can hang on to just about any surface. I wish I had a shot of when it perches on the edge or side of the garage somewhere. Like the nuthatches, titmice, chickadees, and downys, it doesn't seem to mind whether it is right side up or sideways or upside down.

The Wren glare. They look funny from straight on.
"Hmmmm...guess this is the best stuff she has to offer me."

Back down in the leaves where it blends in so well.

They are busy little birds, for sure! If I catch one still long enough to get a picture, I count that a good day! Nice shots of it today!
