This a what a wren looks like. Note the short tail, curved bill and plump, rounded body. Specifically, this is a Carolina wren, our state bird. It's the most common one around here. And, you WILL find those around a feeder, especially suet feeders. Their main food is bugs. And, they sing alot. In fact, they have a bazillion different calls.
