Bewick's Wren, Thryomanes bewickii
Bewick's Wren, male singing, 9/27/10, Salinas River NWR, Monterey Co
This bird was singing vociferously in September, well past nesting season. Bewick's Wrens are loud,
frequent, and versatile songsters. They are common in the San Francisco Bay Area, including in our
yard year-round, but they are surprisingly hard to photograph, as they move frequently and don't
readily give unobstructed views.
