Bay Wren
The Bay Wren is a richly colored wren found in the dense undergrowth of lowland rainforests from Honduras to Ecuador and northern Brazil. It has a black crown and face, chestnut back and wings, and a barred tail. It skulks in dense vegetation near forest streams, feeding on insects and spiders, and is more often heard than seen.
