Tiny Vocalist

Meet Troglodytes aedon - the house wren.  The Latin name derives from: “hole dweller.” 

They're insect-eaters and as a consequence will not visit your seed feeders.  However, if you want to attract these enthusiastic songsters put a nest box or two in your yard. 

These tiny birds are quite vocal and are called house wrens as they are comfortable nesting in close proximity adjacent to our houses. 

They are a wonderful addition to the outdoor sound experience and during mating season will fill your yard with music for weeks at a time.
