Bewick's Wren

Also known as Long-Tailed Wren

Bewick's wrens are energetic insectivores recognized by their prominent white eyebrows and distinctive habit of flicking their long, white-cornered tails side-to-side while foraging. Males possess an extraordinarily diverse vocal repertoire, often learning up to twenty or more complex song variations to defend territories in thickets and suburban yards. While remaining abundant throughout western North America, eastern populations have experienced dramatic declines due to competition for nesting sites with house wrens.
