Carolina Wren

Yellow-rumped Warbler vs Hen-Pecked Carolina Wren

January 28, 2018 by MoJo

Since we just watched Napoleon take on the Finch Army, I might as well move directly to introducing you to the "Masked Man".  The Yellow-rumped Warbler is a winter resident here.  He's identifiable by the bright yellow feathers on his rump and his very distinct black mask.  He's become quite a fan of the mealworm feeder.  Apparently, he's decided he owns it.  Well ... if you remember our Carolina Wren in the Mine, Mine, Mine video ... you can imagine ownership might be a matter of contention.  

As we saw in "Cuddle With the One You Love", Mr. Wren is accustomed to being hen-pecked.  I get that it may be easy to shrug off being pecked on the head by one's partner, but I was really captivated by the Wren's reaction to the Masked Man's attack.  Napoleon may need to give the Warbler a lesson or two.

Feathers and Fuzz: Christmas 2017

December 24, 2017 by MoJo

Merry Christmas FAF 2017

 

As much as most of us love the holidays, there's no question they can be stressful.  The Carolina Wrens are here to remind us of the reward for letting go of the day's struggles.  Even if we feel nearly-pushed over the edge and sharp blows have been struck to our head ... at the end of the day, there's nothing like cuddling up and staying warm with the one you love.

May Faith, Hope and Love be Yours Throughout the Coming Year
