The Carolina wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus) is a species of wren common in the eastern United States, the extreme south of Ontario, Canada, the northeast and southeast of Mexico, and into northern Central America. Severe winters restrict the northern limits of their range, while favorable weather conditions lead to a northward extension of their breeding range. Their preferred habitat is in dense cover in forest, farm edges, and suburban areas. This wren is the state bird of South Carolina. Ten subspecies are recognized, occurring across the range of the species; they differ slightly in song and appearance. It is generally inconspicuous, avoiding the open for extended periods of time.
