We have snow - maybe 10 inches - and birds. The birds are pretty hungry. We had this brownish guy at the feeder this morning as we were eating (too), and the best we could figure was he's a Carolina Wren.
This begs the question: what's the Carolinean doing up here where the temps are going to approach 0 degrees F. over the next week?

Very nice close up of the wren. We've been getting a lot of birds around here too but I don't think I have seen any wrens.
Yes that is a Carolina Wren.
Jessica identified it for me this summer when I had that nest on my porch.
I think this 'birds flying south for the winter' is a myth. My Ben has been working overtime. LOL
You got a great photo of him. Carolina Wrens are not really migratory birds but they are sensitive to cold so they are being seen less and less in the north. I have yet to see one in my yard. You are probably on the northern end of their territory.
Keep enjoying those birds!
Well, I hope those wrens get through the next week - it's supposed to be pretty brutal.
