Identification - This wren is about the size of a sparrow. It is brown above with a red-brown colored rump and tail. It has a pure white throat and breast contrasting with the finely streaked dark rufous-brown belly.
Morsels - It is a common belief that a great deal is known about all the birds in North America. But, here's one species where the amateur birdwatcher can play a role, for the Canyon Wren is "virtually unstudied."
