After the storm passed, the yard was completely flooded and this little bird was on the picnic table bench dancing. He was flashing his tail like a wren and bobbing about. I thought it was one of the Carolina Wrens until I saw the barring on its chest. I took this blurry pic through a wet window. It scared him to death and he ran along the bench and hopped to the next one. I didn't try taking any more pictures. Can you tell what kind of bird it is?
