About These Birds

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.

Antioquia Wren

The Antioquia Wren is a vulnerable wren endemic to a small area of Colombia's Antioquia department, weighing about 22 grams with a wingspan near 13 cm. It inhabits dense riparian vegetation and humid forest edges at mid-elevations. Ongoing habitat destruction threatens this recently described and highly localized species.
