Spotted
The Canyon Wren is a distinctive wren of rocky landscapes, instantly recognizable by its rich rufous underparts and unique, descending bubbly song that echoes beautifully through canyons and rocky gorges.
Where to spot
Inhabits arid canyons, rocky outcrops, cliffs, and boulder fields across western North America, from southern British Columbia to central Mexico.
How to spot
Listen intently for its unmistakable, musical song. Look for it creeping into crevices or along vertical rock faces, often appearing quite flat against the rock. Its flattened body shape helps it navigate narrow cracks.
When to spot
Primarily a resident species observed year-round. Most vocal during the breeding season (spring-summer) and in the early morning.

Its mesmerizing song is often described as a 'falling cascade of liquid notes' and is one of the most iconic sounds of the American Southwest's desert canyons.
