How to spot
Listen for its loud, ringing, and often repetitive song. Look for a small wren foraging low in dense thickets or along forest edges. Patience is needed to spot the subtle breast streaking.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon.
