Robert Miller: The sound of a South Carolina bird sings in CT

Right now, the world is mostly white, black and gray.
The birds at my feeder are like that as well. Chickadees, juncos, titmice, nuthatches as black, white and gray as Whistler’s mother. Now and then, there’s the red/olive Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal to brighten the world, or the crimson patch on the back of a downy woodpecker’s head.
But, lucky me, I’ve also had a pair of Carolina wrens small, round, bright cinnamon-brown birds with their tails straight up like signaling semaphores. Nothing could be finer.
