Where to spot
Found in arid and semi-arid regions of western North America, from southern Canada to Central Mexico. Inhabits rocky slopes, cliffs, canyons, boulder fields, and talus slopes.
How to spot
Look for it hopping or running quickly over rocks, often performing a characteristic bobbing motion of its entire body. Listen for its clear, ringing song, which often repeats phrases and varies in pitch.
When to spot
Resident year-round in much of its range; northern populations may move south in winter. Most active during early morning and late afternoon.

Rock Wrens often decorate the entrances to their nests with a 'pavement' of flat stones, which may help deter predators or regulate nest temperature.
