Re: bird id

I'll put that on my list; I like to think of myself as a good host.

They may not be uncommon, but they are one of my favorites. They have such personality!! Enjoy them.
P.S. Wrens like houses that have oblong openings- it allows them to drag in the sticks they are so fond of. They do use houses regularly to build nests if they are available. So...if you'd like more wrens, you might get them a house.

Wren? I thought I had wrens before. Guess not, as I don't recall hearing this sound before. Cute little buggers. The tails do jut out at an upward angle. And here, I thought I had something uncommon. 
Thanks Theresa!

Sounds like it is a wren. They are very zippy, quite noisy and vocal, and do have a cinnamon color to some parts (depending on variety). Their little tails tend to poke up in the air, if you can see them still long enough! They are good bug eaters.

I have had a new kind of bird here all summer and thought maybe someone would have an idea. They're way too fast and skittish for me to get a picture. They are rounded and little perhaps like a chickadee. From a distance they seem to have a light gray breast with darker wing feathers and i think the tail feathers might be red or reddish. The distinctive feature is their sound. For such a little bird they are very loud, making a sound like a cicada that lasts 2 or 3 seconds at a time. Any ideas?
