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.
