The Canebrake Wren is a species found in the humid lowlands of Central America, closely related to the Plain Wren but preferring dense, often wetland-associated habitats. It is an active and vocal bird.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid lowland forests, especially dense bamboo thickets, cane patches, and overgrown clearings, from eastern Honduras to western Panama.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, clear, and often musical song emanating from dense vegetation. Look for it foraging actively in thickets, often difficult to see due to its skulking nature.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon.
