Walking along the north side of Lake Victoria this morning, I heard a harsh scolding call. At first I thought grey squirrel but as I got closer I could see the Carolina Wren calling loudly from a low bush. Carolina Wrens are not common in Stratford and often suffer die back in cold winters. This specimen must have good genes to survive -26 C of a few nights ago.

The bird was along the north side of Lake Victoria in Stratford. There is parking very close at the east end of William Street. From Ontario Street (Hwy 7/8) take Waterloo Street north to William Street then turn right and follow it to the east end of the lake.
