House Wren (Sitta canadensis)
- HABITAT - The House Wren occurs from southern most regions of Canada to the entire South America, which makes them the most widely distributed native bird in the Americas. It occurs in most suburban areas in its range. Breeding wrens in the north will migrate warmer climates. House Wren numbers appeared to be declining in our area (Eastern Ontario) over the last few decades, but seem to slowly rebounding in the last couple of years.
- DIET -House wrens feed primarily on small insects such as grasshoppers, crickets, and caterpillars.
- FACTS - House Wren were named for their preference for small town and suburban backyards and human-made bird houses. Small wood-lots and forest edges are known habitats. Farming and towns have created more good breeding habitat for the wren by fragmenting the forests.
