Bird Observations

December 17, 1901. Heard a vigorous 

 "wren scolding" and saw a Carolina wren 

 sitting on the woodbine on our east porch. 

 He stayed there ten or fifteen minutes, and 

 seemed to be pulling off bits of bark. I 

 could not detect any berries. He was cold, 

 and sat down on his feet a great deal. It 

 was only i above zero, and it was 13 

 two days ago. He did not sing, but 

 scolded a great deal, and bobbed his tail 

 over his head. He let me come very near.
