| Carolina Wren |
Later on our hike, we did see a Winter Wren as well; our other highlight was a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker... a nice end to the year.
Happy 2012!

2011 Comes To A Close
On the final day of 2011, I participated in the Elkhart Christmas Bird Count, birding with several others at Oxbow County Park. Our group had to leave by noon, but we tallied 24 species during our hike. When we were in a wet wooded area with lots of downed logs, I thought we had a good chance of finding a Winter Wren, so I played the Winter Wren song on our iPod. Shortly after the song began, we heard the clear, ringing "teakettle-teakettle-teakettle" of a Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus). A few seconds later, we were looking at a pair of Carolina Wrens, interested to see what all the Winter Wren commotion was about.

Thanks again, Scott, for teaching me the song of the Carolina Wren (and so many others)!
No problem... one of my favorite and one of the most memorable songs!
Do you recall where we were botanizing when you brought it to my attention?
I'm thinking South Bend Speedway.
Yep, near the southeast corner of the site.
I do agree with all the concepts you have offered for your post. They are very convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are too quick for beginners. May you please lengthen them a bit from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.
