Video: Winter Wren Portrait

[Donkees]

Beautiful high definition video of a Winter Wren singing song after song. Also includes an encounter with a Forest Tent Caterpillar.

An inhabitant of northern forests and high mountains, the Winter Wren is a fantastic singer. The male's high-pitched tinkling ramble has been likened to "a tremulous, vibrating tongue of silver" or an "incessant twittering flow." Thoreau was reminded of a "fine corkscrew stream issuing with incessant lisping tinkle from a cork, flowing rapidly."

5. Yes they do. Just got a text from my friend said she had to catch one in a solo cup in her kitchen

2. Thank you for sharing this.

I've never lived within their range or spent much time in those areas so this bird is completely new to me and is a cool bird.
