Carolina Wren... Sad Story
Hi all,
Witness the unfortunate Carolina Wren... These birds are primarily warm weather creatures... Though large as wrens around here go, they're still no match for the cold. It's 25 F outside right now... I wonder if the poor thing will survive...
Not to become too philosophical, but to become too philosophical, life is a funny old duck... One moment, that bird was probably in the warmer climes of the Southern US (Florida perhaps?), and now faces freezing to death. What compelled it to fly north? Was it a lack of food? The drive to mate? Safer nesting area? Pure instinct? Perhaps it was just a nonsensical wanderlust.... Why does all this stuff resonate?
Anyway, I hope the little bird survives...
There's a chilling line in the movie "Night of the Hunter" starring Robert Mitchum... It's a hard world for little things...
See you by the feeders,
