Last Friday, just before the snowstorm, I went over to a friends house in Rochester. He has had an interesting bird all year. Carolina Wren are typically found from southern Iowa on south. Warm winters have brought a few around our area from time to time. He played a tape, it responded with its very loud call and it flew in. What was interesting was the feeder on his deck. As you can see from the photos, it is a box with plexiglass on both sides and a hole on each end. Also interesting is that he feeds them (and any other bird that can fit through the hole) live mealworms. The feeder keeps out the squirrels and larger species of birds. The Carolina Wrens (he has 2 of them) will sit in there for a long time snarfing down the bird candy!
