House Wren in an urban environment--Kinston, NC



Recently I have observed a territorial House Wren in a suburban yard in
Kinston, NC.

I know that breeding House Wrens are common in such habitat in the
Piedmont of NC.  Down my way, on the coast, breeding season House Wrens
occur only in burned over pocosin habitats (mostly in the Croatan
National Forest), and are quite local.  I have never seen one in an
urban setting.  Last year, Jeff Lewis reported breeding season House
Wrens in urban/suburban settings in Dare County NC (Southern Shores and
Colington, I believe).

I am curious.  How far E and SE in the Carolinas do breeding House Wrens
occur other than in pocosins?

Can others add to the two tentative points on this line that I have
listed here??--Dare County, NC and Lenoir County, NC

Please note:  I am asking only about breeding season House Wrens in
nonpocosin habitats.
