Field Notes

Description:

"small, 15 centimetres (5.9 in) bird with uniform dull olive, brown, or grayish plumage. It has short wings and a long tail often held high (hence the comparison to wrens). It has a short bill and a pale iris." - Wikipedia

Habitat:

Mixed chaparral. "The Wrentit is a sedentary (non-migratory) resident of a narrow strip of coastal habitat in the western coast of North America, being found from Oregon south to Baja California, the north state of the Baja California peninsula. It is usually restricted to scrub and certain types of woodland." - Wikipedia

Notes:

"Given its retiring nature and loud voice, the Wrentit is more likely to be detected by its call than by sight. The distinct sound that it makes is similar to the sound of a ping-pong ball falling on the table." - Wikipedia
