The Winter Wren is a small dark-plumaged and inconspicuous bird. It is very easy to overlook it because of its size and its habit of feeding on the forest floor. Most times it is hidden in the undergrowths as it goes about in its search for food. It leaves its breeding territories in late September and early October.

ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
