Subject: [CT Birds] Carolina Wrens
We lost our local pair of wrens with the second cold snap this winter, too. It surprised us as they seemed to be doing well until then and we had food out for them (suet and peanuts) at all times. We’ve noticed fewer Carolina Wrens wherever we’ve gone birding in CT this spring. The first objective measure of their apparent population decline will come next month with the summer bird counts. It seems likely that their numbers will be down by at least 50%. The good news is that this has happened before and they have recovered quickly and well after previous super cold winters.
