Labor Day weekend, two days after I finished lesson 1 I am on my way out to the patio to put the grill away and l can hear a bird making a very loud distress or alarm call.  Once outside I realize it is in the Arborvitaes and I think to myself, "I will never find it", but I did! I couldn't identify the bird because of low light and the height but remembered my camera was just inside the back door.  Again, I thought, " It will be gone by the time I get back to this spot", but what the heck, the grill can wait. As I came back no more bird calls but I see something white up there and get off a few shots. I looked down to check out the photos, look up and the bird is gone! This is my bird!                                                  I'm doing everything backwards.  I download the photo on my computer and did the Merlin ID off the screen. Seeing the result my reaction is, "This does not seem right".                                                                                                                   The next day I spent researching House and Carolina Wrens and even checked out Winter, Sedge and Marsh Wrens, the ones I can see in Ohio. I knew more about the House Wren, they nested in a bird house hanging from our pergola. While Wrens have many similarities there are differences and I see a Carolina Wren in these photos.  I don't know what happened to my paragraphs, not enough space?
