House Wren (Troglodytes aedon)
Cascade Mountains - Jackson County - Oregon - USA
Habitat : Open Woodlands
Food : Insects
Nesting : Cavity
Behavior : Foliage Gleaner
Conservation : Low Concern
"The House Wren has one of the largest ranges of any songbird in the New World. It breeds from Canada through the West Indies and Central America, southward to the southernmost point of South America... A House Wren weighs about as much as two quarters, but it’s a fierce competitor for nest holes. Wrens will harass and peck at much larger birds, sometimes dragging eggs and young out of a nest site they want – even occasionally killing adult birds. In some areas they are the main source of nest failure for bluebirds, Tree Swallows, Prothonotary Warblers, and chickadees."
