The Pacific Wren is a tiny, secretive wren of dense coniferous forests in western North America. It is renowned for its extremely complex and melodious song, disproportionately loud for its size.
Where to spot
Found in dense, moist coniferous and mixed forests, often near streams or damp areas, along the Pacific coast and mountains of western North America.
How to spot
Listen for its incredibly intricate, rapid, and sustained song, often containing numerous trills and phrases. Spotting it can be challenging as it typically forages in dense undergrowth near the ground.
When to spot
Resident year-round in much of its range; some higher elevation populations may move to lower elevations in winter. Most vocal during early mornings.
