About These Birds
Zaunkönig
Der Zaunkönig ist einer der kleinsten Vögel Europas, besitzt jedoch einen für seine Größe erstaunlich lauten Gesang. Männchen bauen mehrere kuppelförmige Nester, von denen das Weibchen eines zum Auspolstern auswählt. In der britischen Folklore gilt der Zaunkönig als König der Vögel, weil er den Adler in einem Flugwettbewerb überlistete.
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.
