Wrens

Britain's naval women

Wrens are small, active songbirds with short tails often held upright.

They're found across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, typically foraging in underbrush and producing surprisingly loud songs for their size.

The house wren is among the most common backyard birds in North America.
