The song of the winter wren (now I believe it's called the "pacific wren) Is
one of the magical melodies you will hear in the spring. With a brain the size
of a Seattle rain drop, It sings this amazing intricate melodious song
constantly usually on the edge of a clearcut or wooded area. This bird will
generate more song pound for pound, than any other songbird found in North
America. This recording shows the typical sound you hear while in the woods, It
is so complicated that I have slowed down the last song by 50% so that you can
actually hear what the heck is going on here.
This is a sample made from a 1 hour recording which included.
