HOUSE WREN
The House Wren is the most widely distributed wren in the Americas, occurring from Canada to the bottom of Argentina.  It is one of 88 true wren species that are found predominately in the new world.   Only the Eurasian Wren occurs in the old world.   There are other bird species in the world called wrens, such as in Australia and New Zealand, but they are not true wren species.   I took these photos, a few years ago, when a pair of House Wrens nested in a birdbox in my garden that is usually home to Black-capped Chickadees.   It was the only time it ever happened in almost 30 years.
