Bewick's Wren

This little bird appears with a loud, flat,  hollow "jip" calling.  When I first heard it, I looked around to see it flying straight like an arrow from one place to another.


Bewick's Wren visits my backyard often throughout the year.  When the suet is crowded with other birds, it can eat the dropped suet chunks on the ground.


 The wren has inconspicuous color, so it is important to let others know loud and clear by saying,  "This is my turn to gabble the suet!"


Sometimes it likes to dance pretty on the fence for me to see.
