Carolina Wren
Thryothorus ludovicianus (Latham, 1790)
Troglodytidae — Wrens
Carolina Wren, Thryothorus ludovicianus, breeds across North America and Middle America from south-eastern Canada and the eastern United States to Guatemala and Nicaragua. It is a wren of dense cover, using forest edges, farm margins and suburban areas. Ten subspecies are recognised across its range, with slight differences in appearance and song. It is usually unobtrusive and does not stay in the open for long. Pairs hold territories, remain together for years, and can raise several broods in the summer breeding season. Both sexes give alarm calls, while only males sing to defend territory.
