Does anyone know if the Winter Wren of Seattle, NPS Magazine Page 39, First in composition competition, is troglodytes troglodytes? If so it's the same one as we know which also looks like the little woodcut on the next page, and sings very loudly for such a small size. Thomas Bewick (he of Derek Hobbs's Footsteps) says of it,
"This diminutive active bird is very common in England, and braves our severeft winters, which it contributes to enliven by its sprightly note. During that feafon it approaches near the dwellings of man, and takes fhelter in the roofs of houfes, barns, hay-ftacks, and holes inthe walls; it continues its fong until late in the evening, and not unfrequently during a fall of fnow."
