Bewick's Wren [Bewick's]

Thryomanes bewickii [excl. brevicaudus, leucophrys] (= Thryomanes bewickii) (Audubon, JJ 1827)

The Bewick's wren is a wren native to North America. At about 14 cm (5.5 in) long, it is grey-brown above, white below, with a long white eyebrow. While similar in appearance to the Carolina wren, it has a long tail that is tipped in white. The song is loud and melodious, much like the song of other wrens. It lives in thickets, brush piles and hedgerows, open woodlands and scrubby areas, often near streams. It eats insects and spiders, which it gleans from vegetation or finds on the ground.
