Eastern House Wren

Eastern House Wren
This was Baldwin’s favorite species of bird, and the one around which he conducted his studies. He even suggested that the Ohio House Wren could be a new subspecies of House Wren. In this photo the wren stands on the trap-perch of a nesting box. It has an aluminum identification band on its left leg and a celluloid band indicating its sex around its right leg. | Date: ca. 1932 | Source: S. Prentiss Baldwin and S. Charles Kendeigh.
