I have a wind chime hanging outside with an almost life-size replica of a rt
hummingbird serving as the wind catcher. This morning a carolina wren flew
into a shrub next to the wind chime. The wren looked around and then surprised
me by flying onto the back of the replica and aggressively pecking at the head
several times. It flew back to its perch seemingly poised for another go at
the replica when it settled down and flew to other shrubs to forage. I wanted
to say it was catching some bug on the replica, but the pecks weren't grabbing
for food. One never knows what interesting behavior might be observed at any
given moment.
