Carolina Wren at Feeder in our Toronto Garden |
|
 |
|
We
are delighted that a Carolina Wren is coming to our feeders in
Toronto. It gets along well with the other birds on the suet feeder
and isn't afraid of the woodpeckers. 23 December 2017. Toronto has a
small permanent population of Carolina Wrens because they are non
migratory. We counted it for the Toronto Christmas Bird Count.They
are the only wren that comes to feeders. |

The
Carolina Wren prefers a mixture of unsalted peanut butter, ground
suet and corn meal made into a pudding by Ron. It also eats pieces
of pure suet after it’s been pecked at by woodpeckers and the bits
that fall to the ground. |
