The characteristic wren of Texas Hill Country brush country and cedar brakes. Easily identified by its long, white-cornered tail that it fanningly wags side-to-side.
Field Identification: Brownish-grey back, clean white underparts, bold white eyebrow stripe, and long tail edged with white spots wagged vigorously.
Texas & Hill Country Notes: While Bewick's Wrens have declined in the eastern U.S., they thrive across the arid oak-juniper scrub of Central Texas. Their melodic song is remarkably complex, consisting of clear whistles, trills, and buzzy notes.
