House Wren

Listen for a loud, bubbling, cascading song that carries surprisingly far for such a small bird, often the easiest way to detect it in gardens, brushy edges and woodland margins across the Americas. It forages low in dense cover for insects and readily takes to nest boxes, which makes it one of the more reliably viewable songbirds where boxes are provided. Spring and summer, when males sing persistently to defend territory, is the best time to look.
