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.
