MWC Eco-brief: Carolina Wren

As an avid insectivore with a bill that cannot open most seeds, the Carolina wren depends heavily on winter birdfeeders offering suet, white proso millet, sunflower hearts, or peanuts. Just one peanut can satisfy 1/3 of the wren’s daily energy needs. Additional details on winter survival of Carolina wrens can be found here: https://feederwatch.org/.../one-peanut-can-go-a-long-way.../
