Carolina Wren in winter?

[Sue Farris]

This is the first time I remember ever seeing a Carolina Wren visiting my feeders during the winter. Is this unusual?

Carolina Wrens advance north and retreat south, depending upon the severity of the winters.  A few years ago I had one spend the winter in my yard (central Maine).  It fed off the suet.  My neighbor down the road has one this winter.  They can stand quite a bit of cold if they can find food.  But, of course, they're never common up here any time of year.

I have had a pair overwintering in my yard in Hallowell for at least the past 6 years. There are now others dispersed throughout the neighborhood so they are well established.

Hear them in the north part of Westbrook almost every day, year-round.

FYI, on our Southern York County CBC last week, we had a record 47 Carolina Wrens, just edging out our previous record of 46 from last year.  Before that we were in the 20's for 3 years, and before that in single digits for 5.   Bill G
