Small in stature and incomparably energetic in voice, the Winter Wren inhabits moist forests and other habitats across much of North America. It is the only wren to be found outside the Americas, occurring also in Europe, Asia, and north Africa, with 35 or more recognized subspecies.
Song is a remarkable continuous stream of melodious notes and trills, lasting 5 to 10 seconds. Songs vary by region. Call is a sharp or husky note, uttered singly or in pairs.
