This House Wren sang but there was no reply at Lake St. Clair Metropark.
(Still somewhat "house-bound", but hopefully I'll be able to get out soon.)
The house wren is a very small songbird of the wren family, Troglodytidae. It occurs from Canada to southernmost South America, and is thus the most widely distributed native bird in the Americas. It occurs in most suburban areas in its range and it is the single most common wren. Wikipedia

House Wren /Troglodyte familier
the House wren nest in our birdhouse for a second time this year . Les troglodytes ont eu une deuxième nichée dans notre nichoir cette année.
While its parents and siblings were scolding me from deep in the brush pile where I came upon the family, this young one popped up on an open snag close to me. Not a good strategy when there is an intruder in the area, but it gave me a nice chance for a photo.
St. Albert, Alberta.
the most entertaining bird in my yard. Stephen, as we have dubbed him, has visited four of the vacant houses in the back yard and done a little building in each. He sings constantly and does not mind posing for the occasional photo.
House Wren 8516
The usual routine goes something like this..........
1. Wren finds appropriate twig for nest on the ground.
2. Wren flies with twig to branch beside birdhouse to prepare for twig deposit.
3. Wren flies to birdhouse opening and maneuvers the twig into the house often displaying amazing ingenuity.
4. Wren follows twig into the house, arranges the twig appropriately and appears in house entrance.
5. Wren returns to branch beside birdhouse and sings a triumphant song before repeating step one.
In this shot the Wren, sadly, decided to sing during step 2 and this is the result.......
We all learn from our mistakes.....
Stay safe everyone
A very cropped image of this little House wren that stopped for a minute on the fence. It was so fast that I couldn't change my settings. (Best in large)

"House Wrens nest inside tree holes and nest boxes. As the season progresses their nests can become infested with mites and other parasites that feed on the wren nestlings. Perhaps to fight this problem, wrens often add spider egg sacs into the materials they build their nests from. In lab studies, once the spiders hatched, they helped the wrens by devouring the nest parasites." The Cornell Lab of Ornithology Photographed in our friend's garden, Cantley, Québec, Canada
Small brownish wren, usually rather plain overall, with dark barring on the wings and tail. Lacks white eyebrow. Occurs in a variety of open or semiopen habitats, including suburbs, parks, rural farmland, and woodland edge with thick tangles. Larger, longer tailed, and generally slightly paler than Winter and Pacific Wrens. Often perches conspicuously when singing, but otherwise fairly secretive. Listen for bubbly song of chatters and trills, and harsh scolding calls. (eBird)
