Carolina Wren. I have lots of them around my home. Their song is very loud
for such a small bird. You may not be seeing it because its further away
than it sounds like. They perch near my house and I can hear them inside in
any room of the house. They also build nests pretty low to the ground. I've
lived where I do now for 31 years and each year they build a nest in my
garage on the shelf behind the paint cans. I've also seen them nest in my
shrubs.

I have been hearing this bird in my neighborhood for some time now, but
I haven't been able to identify it. Whenever I hear it, it's completely
hidden by the trees, so I have no idea what it looks like.
I have posted a brief clip from a recording at

comcast.net/~edanson/DawnChorus.mp3
This is very early in the dawn chorus, in my suburban neighborhood
about twenty miles north of Boston, four minutes or so past the start
of twilight. Very little is heard, until the call of the locomotis
commuterensis is answered by my mystery bird. He calls a few times and
then remains silent for awhile.
This call is in none of my identification CDs, but I bet someone in
this group will recognize him immediately.
