Steved1 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I have a small seasonal wreath attached to the back wall of my deck in central New Jersey I live about 7 miles away from the ocean in a very wooded lot. This bird has built a nest and has 3 hatchlings inside it. I’ve searched my Ibird app and the Internet and still am not sure of its identity possibly Bewick Wren any idea? Very small Buff belly, brown wings, beige legs tail pointy and up. Thanks in advance StevieD1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) Carolina Wren. It would be very unusual to see a Bewick's in New Jersey, especially nesting. Edited July 30, 2018 by The Bird Nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll nest almost anywhere: door decorations, large house plants, propane tank covers, carports and open garages, you name it.

psweet Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 If you learn the songs and calls I think you'll find that they're more common than you realized. They're skulkers, usually much easier to hear than to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
