Rainy Day Sighting
February 2, 2010 – 10:02 am
A Male Carolina Wren
Despite the rain pouring down in buckets, a song came through for all to hear. Poised on the tip of a bamboo post, A Carolina Wren sang its short bursts with fervor and wanting. A moment later, a response from the other side of the yard.
It darted around the ground like a field mouse, hopping in and out of leaf litter in search of breakfast and just as quickly resumed its post to continue its song.
It may feel like winter in Charleston, but Spring is definitely in the air for those with ears to hear.
Time to clean out your bird houses. Empty them and then give them a good scrubbing with a weak bleach or vinegar solution. Let them dry in the sun and return them to a South-facing location.
Happy Day!
