Location: Centennial Woods, Burlington VT
Weather: Overcast, post-heavy rain
Habitat: Mixed deciduous and conifer forest patch near urban development

Towards the middle of Centennial Woods we came across a Winter Wren hopping among rocks and logs near the stream. I wondered why it was spending so much time on the ground, chirping and bobbing. I found on AllAboutBirds.org that Winter Wrens usually nest between ground level and twenty-three feet off that ground, and also may hop along the ground to look for food in dead logs or upturned roots. They are also more commonly found in mixed deciduous/conifer forest areas near streams. If that isn't the most apt description.
