Yesterday, May 31, I heard what I am now fairly confident was a Carolina Wren singing in short (about a minute) spurts from 6:30 am until after 5:30 pm. I was able to get a lot of recordings on my iphone with the voice memo. I knew there have been quite a few reports in this area on this list, but I felt yesterday that I had NEVER heard it before. The first song it sang early wasn't teakettle teakettle teakettle, but it was LOUD and if it hadn't had a few variations in repetitions I thought it could be some sort of alarm at the neighbor's house. The first recording I got was about 7:30, and that one WAS a pretty clear teakettle-teakettle-teakettle. I never got to see it at all, but I was hoping maybe it would like my yard and settle in, but today I haven't heard it. **************************************************************** To post messages, send e-mail to: [log in to unmask] Set your e-mail application to PLAIN TEXT ONLY to post messages.
