Field Notes

Description:

Bewick’s Wrens are medium-sized wrens with a slender body and a strikingly long tail often held upright. They have slender, long bills that are slightly downcurved. Bewick’s Wrens are subdued brown-and-gray wrens with a long, brow-like white stripe over the eye. The back and wings are plain brown; underparts gray-white; and the long tail is barred with black and tipped with white spots. Males and females look the same.

Habitat:

The owner of the nest has returned with a beakful of bald cypress leaves. The nest is on top the rails of the pergola and below the shade cloth. Nests have been built here before.

Notes:

Photo taken through the window. Now we watch for babies :)
