Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus)
Length: 4.5-5.5 in.
Habitat: forests with dense undergrowth; scrubby areas; thickets; brush near water.
The loud ringing call of the Carolina Wren is one of the commonest sounds of southeastern woods, where it is heard even in the winter. The call is usually a series of double or triple notes, written as cheery, cheery, cheery, or tea-kettle, tea-kettle, tea-kettle. The bird has been called "mocking wren" because it sometimes sounds like a catbird, a ,kingfisher, or certain other kinds of birds.
