Carolina Wren: Kennebunk, Maine, USA, December 2025 — Since I was in the hospital on the 1st of January, I am still working off the photos from December. I rarely see this Carolina Wren in the sunshine, as I am not generally near the back deck feeders after breakfast, but I caught it one day last week when coming out to get my lunch…just as it was getting its. Note the ruffled-up feathers above the right leg (left in the photo). This bird has had that feather issue since it was a fledgling. It only adds to the uniqueness of the bird. Sony a6700.
