The Winter Wren is a small, plump, and short-tailed wren of coniferous and mixed forests in eastern North America and Eurasia. It is known for its loud and complex song.
Where to spot
Breeds in coniferous and mixed forests across eastern North America, northern Europe, and Asia. Migratory in northern parts, wintering further south.
How to spot
Listen for its sustained, rapid-fire, musical song. Look for a tiny, dark-brown bird skulking in dense undergrowth, often near fallen logs or stream banks, with its tail frequently cocked.
When to spot
Spring and summer for breeding, fall and winter for migration and overwintering. Most vocal during early mornings.
