About These Birds
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.
