West to Baja California (Cape region), and southern California (San 

 Diego, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino). 



The above distribution applies to the species as a whole, which has 

 been divided into three subspecies. The eastern house wren {T. a. 

 aedon) breeds from New Brunswick southward east of the Alleghenies. 

 The Ohio house wren {T. a. haldwini) breeds from Michigan to central 

 Quebec south to Kentucky and western Virginia. The western house 

 wren {T. a. 'parhmanii) breeds from Wisconsin and Illinois westward. 

 It is impossible at this time to break down the winter range by races ; in 

 fact, it seems more than likely that there is considerable overlapping.
