Title: Is this a house wren?
Post by: Ally on June 06, 2017, 07:59:23 PM

Hi everyone, I hear this bird sing on the top of my neighbor's spruce every morning. I wonder whether this is a house wren. Please help. Thanks

Record its song and post on youtube and then post it here.  We should be able to ID by song.

Thanks for the tip. I think it does come and every morning, I will record tomorrow.

Good night!

The shape of the body and the one image that shows the tail pointing downward while singing leads me to believe it is a House Wren also.
