WINTER WREN (Nannus hiemalis) 



The elusive Winter Wren is an uncommon transient and 

 rare winter resident in most of the area, with a preference for 

 rocky banks, ravines, and brush piles. It arrives the very 

 last of September or early October and lingers until the end of 

 November. In spring, when it is usually a rare bird, it passes 

 north from the end of April to the middle of May. Occasional 

 birds are observed in March. These undoubtedly represent 

 individuals which have wintered much farther north than the 

 majority. It has decreased near the City.
