We are seeing the Carolina wrens expanding their range northward, now breeding in Penobscot County and regularly wintering along the coast through Waldo County. They do struggle and get pushed back during some harsh winters. Interestingly, it doesn’t appear to be the cold that bothers them as much as the food availability, or lack thereof. ~ Maine Audubon Staff Naturalist Doug Hitchcox
