HABITAT RELATIONSHIPS OF WINTER WRENS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA

Abstract

The Winter Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes) has the most widespread distribution of any wren and is the only member of the Troglodytidae found in Asia, Europe, and northern Africa, as well as North America. In Europe, where it is known simply as the Wren, this bird has been well studied (Armstrong 1955). In North America, however, there has been little investigation of Winter Wren ecology.
