The Carolina Wren is a large, rufous-brown wren known for its bold white supercilium (eyebrow) and surprisingly loud, emphatic song. It is a common and vocal resident of eastern North America.
Where to spot
Found in deciduous and mixed woodlands, suburban gardens, parks, and dense scrub across the southeastern and eastern United States, extending into parts of Mexico.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, ringing 'teakettle-teakettle-teakettle' or 'cheery-cheery-cheery' song. Look for a plump, active wren foraging in dense vegetation, often near the ground, with its tail frequently cocked.
When to spot
Resident year-round throughout its range. Most vocal during early mornings and late afternoons, especially in spring and summer.
