The Carolina Wren is a very uncommon species in Canada, with only a peripheral population occurring in southern Ontario and recently Quebec. However, this species is widely distributed and common throughout the eastern Unites States. In Canada, results from the Breeding Bird Survey suggest a significant increase in population since 1970. The Carolina Wren is well adapted to human activities and there are few known threats.
The species is well adapted to human activities. A warming climate appears to be responsible for the northward expansion of its range (Haggerty and Morton 2014). The Carolina Wren benefits from bird feeding activities and from land uses that create dense edge habitat and thickets (e.g. forest fragmentation and logging; Haggerty and Morton 2014). Severe winters can have devastating effects on local populations, but they often recover within a few years (Haggerty and Morton 2014).
Environment and Climate Change Canada and partners have developed Bird Conservation Region Strategies in each of Canada’s Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs). In these strategies, selected species are identified as priorities for one or more of the following reasons:
