Akers Jr.Ĭarolina wrens also nest in some very unusual places like flower pots, shoes, and bags (The Hilton Pond Canter). They prefer moist woodland habitats and use the holes of trees to build their nests (The Hilton Pond Center). Carolina wrens have an unusual migration behavior in that they tend to fly north when weather starts to get cold instead of flying south. Their range has slowly been expanding northward possibly due to milder winters and possibly due to the increased abundance of winter bird feeders. A Carolina wren is 5 ½ to 6 inches in length ().Ĭarolina wrens are found all across the eastern half of the United States. Their rich cinnamon color and long, upward-cocked tail are also quite distinctive (Cornell University). These physical characteristics of the Carolina wren are probably what an observer would notice first. A Carolina wren has a smooth ombre, another word for fading in tone or shading, from its head all the way down to the long tail. Their distinctive color patterns consist of a darker outer side, and lighter underneath (Kari Kirschbaum and Meredith Kurpinski). The Carolina wren is more brightly colored than other wrens. Other distinguishing characteristics of the Carolina wren include their richly colored backs and heads, their short tails and their lack of the white tip characteristic seen in other wrens (Living the Scientific Life Scientist Interrupted). The Carolina wren ( Thyrothorus ludovicianus) can be distinguished from other wrens based on its larger size (Living the Scientific Life Scientist Interrupted).
