Carolina Wren - Birds of Colorado
Was a bit disappointed with how the quality turned out on YouTube. The original video is a lot clearer and better quality. Anyway, posting for your enjoyment nonetheless. Had some fun with these birds while I was in Colorado. Have always liked this type of bird and these were rather friendly and would land on my shoulders and arms while I was sitting there on a hammock. They zoomed around right over me with bugs and whatnot to feed their chicks.
These birds are Carolina Wrens according to the USGS website, or as best as I can determine from it. Had a little troubled deciding between a Bewick's Wren, Winter Wren, and Carolina Wren. They look so similar for the most part, you have to pay attention to all the detail. If you are an ornithologist and know for sure, let me know.
Correction: This has been identified as a House Wren, not a Carolina. I was close though.
