Blackest Night Prelude
What is the name of this bird? It makes the cry, "VIDeo, VIDeo, VIDeo, VIDeo..."?
It is a small, chubby, perky bird found on the west coast of
Florida (about 4-5" from tip of beak to tail). It has a longish, curved bill and is sort of speckled in a drabby color with a streak running across its eye that is black (or dark) and white. It was perched in my Night-blooming Jasmine bush. It had a very pleasant little song that was a prelude to the "VIDeo, VIDeo, VIDeo..." chorus. I've heard this bird many times, but today was the first time I actually saw one.
I looked up the Carolina Wren in my NGS field guide and the picture is very similar to what I remember (I only saw him/her for a minute or so). The field guide said the Carolina Wren has a loud, clear melodious "teakettle teakettle teakettle" or "cheery cheery cheery" song. "Teakettle" has the same amount of syllables and the same emphasis on the first syllable as "Video," so I think you are right--this must be the bird I saw and heard. They do live in Florida, too.
Sounds like a Carolina wren. Did it keep its tail
cocked up almost vertically part of the time? If
so almost surely a wren. The size and description
would fit the Carolina wren, likewise the song. The
other wren that looks most like the Carolina is the
Bewick's wren, but the song isn't right for that.
