I'm curious about the "FOS Carolina Wren". I have them year round here in
my yard (Roanoke area)- pretty much the same pair, it seems, too. Do some
move north this time of year or come down from the mountains?

Subject: [Va-bird] FOS and life/yard birds in Leesburg
We had a fun weekend at our feeders.
The highlight: today we saw and photographed a loggerhead shrike--a
confirmed life and yard bird for us (I think we had one a few years ago but
saw it too briefly to confirm).
Our huge flocks of white-crowned sparrows have returned.
We also had our FOS Northern Harrier hunting over the fields and FOS
Carolina Wren.
A juvenile red-shouldered hawk flew in and watched from our purple Martin
house pole.
We had lots of our regulars--house finches, goldfinches, red-winged
blackbirds, and our regular Mockingbird.
Yesterday we had our FOS pine siskins, and a flock of at least 100 very
vocal fish crows fly overhead.
