Some of the most seemingly inconspicuous birds can sometimes offer the largest surprises. The Canyon Wren is an adorable, tiny bird that is known for its beautiful whistles that echo off the rocks in their habitats. Naturally occurring along the canyons of the United States and Mexico, these birds have evolved to be agile in order to scale the rocky walls and cliff faces in their pursuit of insect prey. They are known to be elusive and are typically heard before they are seen, a fitting trait for such a magnificent bird. Their loud songs are so musical that it grabs the attention of birdwatchers and non-birdwatchers alike.

The Pacific Wren is a secretive and elusive songbird that you can hear singing throughout the western forests of North America.
