In the 90s, i use to have 10 miles feeder trail in Quebec, this area was part of some municipal park protected, many habitat was present in this small parcel of land, Evergreen,Leafs Woodland, Marsh and Field, very nice place to watch birds, record and study them, in there habitat, for sure when you supplied food on any kind during, Fall, Winter and Spring, the chance are good to see some unusual species.
This is exactly what happen in the morning of the 20 October 1991, this little fellow stay in my trail till the 21 of November, I have take so many picture of this birds, but i have to admit, this bird move very fast all the time, to get sharp and clear picture was not an easy task, even try to get it close possible was also very difficult.
During is passage this fellow make the area full of song, Complexes vocalism, I have the chance to record the bird for hours, extremely powerful and clear.

-------------------------------CAROLINA WREN-----------------------------------

The Carolina wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus) is a common species of wren that is a resident in the eastern half of the United States of America, the extreme south of Ontario, Canada, and the extreme northeast of Mexico. Severe winters restrict the northern limits of their range while favorable weather conditions lead to a northward extension of their breeding range. Their preferred habitat is in dense cover in forests, farm edges and suburban areas. This wren is the state bird of South Carolina.

There are seven recognized subspecies across the range of these wrens and they differ slightly in song and appearance. The birds are generally inconspicuous, avoiding the open for extended periods of time. When out in the open, they investigate their surroundings and are rarely stationary. After finding a mate, pairs maintain a territory and stay together for several years. Both sexes give out alarm calls, but only males sing to advertize territory. Carolina wrens raise multiple broods during the summer breeding season, but can fall victim to brood parasitism by brown-headed cowbirds, among other species. Some populations have been affected by mercury contamination.
