Identification - It is about the size of a sparrow and the rustiest of all wrens. It has a conspicuous white eyebrow stripe with rusty-brown or rufous upperparts and the buffy underparts.
Morsels - Some wrens, like the House, Bewick's and Carolina Wren, seem attracted to some very unusual nest sites. While their traditional nest site is a cavity, nests of these species have also been found in pails, behind a frying pan hanging on a wall, in open bags partially filled with nails, in mailboxes, in abandoned cars, in empty cow skulls, in abandoned bald-faced hornet paper nests, in tea pots and old shoes, and one House Wren nested in the axle of a car that was used every day!
