We\u2019re all familiar with our neighborhood wrens, House, Carolina, Winter, Marsh, and Sedge. Of the 5, Winter and Carolina Wrens are resident, while the House, Marsh, and Sedge Wrens are summer breeders in our area. \u00a0There are actually 88 species of wren occurring throughout North and South America, occupying a number of habitats, and are excellent songsters more often heard than seen.\u00a0 There is, however, one species that occurs in the old world, the Eurasian Wren, largely resident throughout Europe and Asia. Eurasian Wrens had previously been considered the same species as our Winter Wren, but it has recently been split into 3 separate species (\u2018Winter Wren\u2019 in the eastern US, \u2018Pacific Wren\u2019, in the west, and \u2018Eurasian Wren\u2019 in the old world).\u00a0 As classification methods improve, we can expect more changes in our understanding of the relationships between familiar birds. Perhaps an increase in \u2018armchair lifers\u2019?<\/p>\n
