Tweeters,



In my opinion, this is almost certainly a misidentified Bewick's Wren. Most
of the description, including the song, could easily apply to a Bewick's
Wren.



Carolina Wrens are non-migratory and are almost never reported outside the
species' normal range, so the chance of this being a real Carolina Wren is
miniscule.

wren with long, curved bill. Distinct supercilium. Buffy belly and flanks
without streaks or barring. Long tail. Familiar species to me."
