About These Birds
Bicolored Wren
The Bicolored Wren is a large, conspicuous wren found in open woodland, dry scrub, and savanna edges in northern South America, from Colombia to northeastern Brazil. It has a grey and brown bicolored pattern with a boldly striped head and a loud, musical song. It is highly social, living in family groups that cooperatively defend territories and raise young.
Apolinar's Wren
Apolinar's Wren is an endangered marsh wren endemic to Colombia's Eastern Andes, weighing about 18 grams with a wingspan near 11 cm. It inhabits reed beds and wetland vegetation in high-altitude bogotá savanna wetlands. Severe habitat loss from wetland drainage has pushed this secretive wren toward endangerment.
