This is bird-no.

Though half the size of a robin, the Carolina Wren has a powerful singing voice that seems to come from a much bigger bird.

Many people remember their song with the phrase,

Te Kettle, Te kettle, Te kettle, Te Kettle,

They also have a distinctive call, a raspy sounding, churcher.

When these secretive birds venture into the open, look for their cocktail, bright white eyebrows,

tan breasts, and golden brown backs. They're a common bird throughout parks and backyards in much of the eastern U.S.

One reason these rents thrive in cityscapes is their ability to build a nest in creative places.

Everything from an old boot to a window flower box to an engine block

are potential places to raise their brood. These little birds raise up to seven tiny young at a time.

If that nursery rhyme, you know, the old woman who lived in a shoe with so many children seemed silly to you.

Well, it certainly doesn't to the crafty adaptable Carolina Wren. Their many offspring appear as if by magic from the

unlikeliest of places. For Bird Note I'm Perbita Saha. You're going to be.
