I have been hearing this bird for a year or so, but have not been able to catch it on film (pixels?). Finally, this afternoon I got some video. Had to zoom way in from the bathroom window, but I got it.
Can anyone confirm this is a Carolina Wren? I listened to a clip of a Carolina Wren song, and it didn't sound the same, though the photos of the bird did.

Interesting. Is this bird new to the New England area? Or just to my neighborhood!

It's a good bird for Maine. I believe they have been expanding north slightly over the past few decades. We are getting them occassionally here as well, although I've only once had the good fortune of spotting one.

Scott, MA is Massachusets, where it looks to be widespread though probably not as common as further south. Maine would be ME.

You folks have way too many provinces......I mean states, especially ones that start with M.

Haha yup. MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MS. It's nice having Pennsylvania be the only "P" state.

We've had them in NY state since February, I heard somewhere the ABA is actually thinking of renaming them "to better reflect their range".

Seriously? That seems kind of arbitrary when you consider birds like the Tennessee Warbler, Canada Goose, or Carolina Chickadee.
