Southern House-Wren

This wren favours gardens, scrubby edges, and forest clearings across its wide Central and South American range, where it hops low through tangled cover and pauses on fence posts and low branches to deliver a loud, bubbling song. It is far bolder around people than many wrens, often nesting in eaves, drainpipes, or nest boxes near houses. Listen for the song at dawn year-round in tropical populations, since it does not migrate and holds territory through all seasons.
