Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus) on a chessboard. Usually more often heard than seen, for this little bird has a big, big voice that rolls through the woods.
Here using its tail feathers woodpecker-style, for support against the vertical as it goes about gleaning for insects.

Love the pic on the chessboard. Great shot of a beautiful bird. The Carolina Wren is one of my favorites!
One of my faves too, we have a few locals that are dropping by a lot these days. Their call is so loud for their size it’s unreal!
