House Wren and Habitat Across North America
House wrens are small dusky brown birds with short tails that perch cocked and nest in cavities or bird boxes. They breed from British Columbia across Canada to New Brunswick and south to Arizona, Texas, Tennessee and Georgia, and winter to southern California gulf states and Virginia. They lay 4-8 white eggs with brown speckles and often nest in odd places, occasionally piercing other birds eggs. they return to old nests and rebuild, sometimes using the same materials. Compiled by Les Winkeler from the National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Birds.
