Field Notes

Description:

I'm pretty sure this is a Winter Wren, but need verification on it. Little brown bird with a short tail sticking straight up. Short bill and dark bars on the belly. This little guy was very uncooperative, and kept hoping around making it difficult to get a picture.

Habitat:

lowland hardwood forest

House wrens have a longer tail then the Winter and more of a neck.

I agree, seriously doubt it's Eurasian, being in the United states. My question was between Winter or House wren. Thanks for the help.
Jellis
Winter and our Pacific Wren are almost the same bird, Short tail and almost no neck. I am guess Eurasian looks the same but different country.
Jellis
This is in the United states. Doubt it is a Eurasian
