House
Wren, Troglodytes aedon

![]() House Wrens are summer visitors to our area, and are uncommon enough that they are regularly reported on the local rare bird listservs; nevertheless, they are fairly easy to photograph, as they sing endlessly and melodiously from prominent perches, and allow close approach when they are singing. I have more good photos of this species than of our much more common year-round resident, the Bewick's Wren . |

![]() They are cavity nesters, but they generally move quickly in and out of the nest, so are relatively hard to photograph there. |

![]() The House Wren has one of the most extensive ranges of New World songbirds; they are permanent residents of almost all of Central and South America. The birds that nest in North America winter in Mexico. The bird above was photographed in Ecuador. |
