Carolina Wren
Thryothorus ludovicianus

The male Carolina Wren sings one of the loudest rich musical songs of any bird its size, preferring the undergrowth of deciduous and mixed forests of the eastern U.S. and eastern Mexico.  One captive Carolina wren sang nearly 3,000 times in a single day.
Members of a pair forage and stay together on their territory year-round and will stay together for life.  Feeding mostly on insects, it will eat tree frogs and small lizards, as well as berries and small fruits in winter.
It will nest in tree cavities, but is often found on window ledges and crevices of buildings, often with a domed shaped nest with a side entrance.
Sensitive to cold winters, its population northward varies with the severity of climates.
