This week all the possible wrens. for this locality, are recorded. The common house wren of our dooryards, which will nest in any kind of nest-hole that it can find and do its darnedest to keep our plants free of insect pests, is the lightest colored of them all.

The Winter wren, which has now retreated to cool. moist woods or ravines where it can hide under brush piles, is the darkest brown of the lot. The Carolina wren is the largest of the wrens. has bright white line over the eye; but a plain back. He.

also, likes cool, moist woods. The long-billed marsh wren, of the cattail marshes, has the white line over the eye and white streaks down the back. The short-billed marsh wren, the most secretive of these birds. prefers tall marsh grasses and sedges but never cattail marshes. As soon as anyone invades his area he keeps down in the grass and is almost never seen except as he sits up on tall grass or sedge to sing before he suspects danger.

His crown and back are both streaked but the underparts contrast sharply. with the upper parts.
