When I try my hand at bird calling, the Merlin app typically identifies my call as a Bewick’s Wren. While interesting, I’ve never actually seen a Bewick’s Wren until recently.

A Bewick’s Wren recently showed up at a bird watcher’s house in White County. He was gracious enough to let others stop by to see it. Typically found in the western United States, this rare wren is occasionally spotted in Arkansas, typically every few years. This hyperactive wren was happily feeding all over the yard and mixed in well with other birds.
