This Bewick's Wren carving was hand-crafted from solid Basswood. Bewick's Wren has a long, sideways-flitting tail, edged with white spots and a long, white eyebrow. The subspecies differ mainly in dorsal color. The song is variable, high, thin buzz and warble, similar to the Song Sparrow. The calls include a flat, hollow jiip. The species is often found in brush land, hedgerows, stream edges, open woods and clear-cuts in the East. The population is sharply declining east of the Rockies, especially east of the Mississippi.
