From Stokes Field Guide to Birds-Western Region & Kaufman Focus Guides-Birds of North America:
HABITAT: Fussing in brush piles, singing its bubbling song from trees, the House Wren is familiar from deep woods to back yards. Shy but curious; popping up in the open, it may hold its tail straight up. Nests in holes in trees or in birdhouses or other cavities.
IDENTIFYING MARKS: 5"; plump little bird with short tail often cocked; upper parts unstressed and grayish brown; faint buffy eyebrow; underparts grayish white with some buffy barring on flanks. Our dullest colored wren, with no prominent field marks.

VOICE: Song a descending warble lasting 2-3 seconds; calls include a series of short buzzes and a rattlelike churr.
