Likewise, I have had a singing Carolina Wren in Poultney for the past 1-2
weeks.  I have had Carolina's around my yard occasionally in the past, but
none for about a year.

Had two males in my yard day before yesterday.  Have never had them
before.  Interesting surprise.  Have also had
a House Wren hanging around for several weeks.  That's different for
our area, too.  I live in Brookfield in a farmland,
open meadow, scrubby area with brooks and ponds.  Not too up on what
they prefer.  PG
