Carolina Wren
If there is a bird with 'attitude', it has to be the Carolina Wren.
But, it is not a bad attitude. Instead, I think they partially
believe that they are just like us, since they have no qualms
about getting nearby, even if it gets them in trouble. If the
garage door is left open, one of our wrens will probably come
inside. When we place a hanging flower basket near the house,
a wren will quickly build a nest in it. If other birds avoid a feeder
because it is too close to the house, the wren will have no
hesitation in feeding from it. Even when I walk into the yard
while the birds are feeding, the wren doesn't quickly fly away like
the rest. No, it will first turn its head to give me the 'once over'
and then it will casually hop away.
Carolina Wren is a graphite drawing on 11" x 8 1/2" paper, using
a pointillism technique. The original is for sale, as well as a few giclee prints.
