About These Birds

Bewick's Wren

Bewick's Wren is a lively, long-tailed wren of scrubby habitats, chaparral, and open woodlands across western North America. It is brown above with white underparts, a long barred tail held cocked upward, and a bold white eyebrow. It forages actively in dense vegetation for insects and spiders, and the male sings a complex, variable song.

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.
