The Carolina Wren is a small but chunky bird with a round body and a long tail that it often cocks upward. Look—or listen—for Carolina Wrens singing or calling from dense vegetation in wooded areas, especially in forest ravines and neighborhoods. These birds love to move low through tangled understory; they frequent backyard brush piles and areas choked with vines and bushes. It explores yards, garages, and woodpiles, sometimes nesting there.
This nest was discovered inside the top of the neighbor's propane tank near a wooded area. We took a peak and then quickly closed the cover so we didn't upset the bird who was sitting in a nearby tree watching us.
