Little Mouse Bird

Pacific Wren – Chignik Lake, January 23, 2018
These hardy, tiny birds (8 – 12 cm, 4-4½ in) might be encountered in any season on the Alaska Peninsula. Recently, as winter snows clear from the landscape here in Cordova, we’ve been hearing their jazzy song on walks through town – and even from the little grove of spruce trees across the quiet street from our home! These little fellows’ lungs are only the size of lima beans, but they sing loud and long in forests from Central California through the Aleutian Islands.
