I blog here as Wren, taking the Carolina Wren as my namesake, avatar, and totem.
Wrens are bright and cheerful little birds. I hope I can be the same and brighten your day when you visit. I'm proud to call myself a nature lover and tree hugger, and hope that sharing here will contribute to bettering this world of ours and inspiring a love of nature in my visitors.
Thank you for being here, for commenting, for helping to build a strong community of nature lovers, and for doing so much for nature, for wildlife, and for people in the "real" world.

oh dear, this one looks artificial. Hard to believe it is real.
Very nice shot of a very handsome bird Wren. Love that iridescent neck and beady yellow eyes, then the black and white body with pink legs. What a masterpiece!
That shot made me giggle, he looks like he’s trying to quietly sneak away after smashing a vase for something
He’d just flown in and been rewarded with a fish or other treat, so no wonder he looks pleased with himself.
That bird is better looking than our Wood Storks.
Nice shot!
Isn’t that an interesting bird? Is it native to Australia?
I think so.
Nice close-up photo of this bird – but – its lots harder to get anywhere near them in the wild!
I know.
I learn a lot observing in zoos that helps me find and recognize birds in the wild. At the zoo, the bird itself is the point; when birding, the chase is much more important.
Great shot of the Black necked Stork, is this a native Australian bird?
I believe so, but will defer to anyone with definitive knowledge.
