Abstract
Carolina Wrens (Thryothorus ludovicianus) are year-round residents across the southeastern United States and frequently found around homes in Florida. Here we explore their fascinating natural history, including habitat preferences, feeding habits, nesting behavior, and unique adaptations, all of which make them a common backyard bird. Our objective in this publication is to educate homeowners about this conspicuous bird, which is common in suburban habitats.
