The wren you’re most likely to spot is the Carolina Wren, the state bird of South Carolina. With a rusty color, a bold eye stripe, and a plain chest, the Carolina Wren is happy to build a nest near homes (for some reason, they love golf cart chargers and hats on hooks). They’ll come to feeders and birdbaths, and they’ll scold you from the relative safety of high bushes and porch railings. We even had a family nest under the eaves of a screened porch, and the youngsters were incredibly safe inside the screens so long as we didn’t let the cat go out there.
