Hi all!
Tonight at sunset, while I was walking the dog, the Winter Wren that’s been
hanging around decided to belt out its song!
I can usually hear them “squawking” (sounds kind of like a Song Sparrow)
right around sunset, but rarely do I hear them singing in the fall. There’s
not much that lifts my spirits more than the bubbly song of this saucy
little bird! I think maybe it was thanking me for the several brush piles
that we have created on the edge of our yard.
Winter Wrens breed in the north but visit us in the spring and fall. A few
may actually spend the winter.
