Wren
Location: Earth » North America » United States » South Carolina » Beaufort County
Date: May 13, 2008
Taken at Hunting Island State Park, in a wooded campground about 200 meters from the beach. I guess it's likely a Carolina Wren, but the belly and flanks seemed redder than I'm used to seeing. The call/song (not sure which) did not sound the same as the Carolina Wren sounds I'm used to hearing here at home.

Changed Taxon
Media was moved from ID Request. David, thanks for the comments. The more I look at it, the more I think it's a Carolina Wren.
Just Today
Just today I had a Bewick's Wren do a pretty good Black-throated Sparrow.

I Go With Carolina Wren
Its been a long time since I've seen a Carolina Wren but that's what I think you have. The only other possibility is Marsh Wren.
As for voice, a few weeks ago, I heard what I thought was an American Robin make the craziest sounds. It persisted and I finally turned toward the noise to track it down but soon it reverted to something recongnizable. Beside geographic variation and extensive repertoires sometimes birds seem to improvise. ?
