Hi, Javi! I've heard the rattle from "our" bird several times, and it's like nothing I've ever heard from a House Wren or any other kind of wren. Will try to get a recording before it heads back north...

This weekend I heard the same rattle at McKinney Falls SP without seeing the bird and I didn't hear the "jimp jimp) calls. Winter Wrens are regular at McKinney Falls in the winters, so what I'm wondering is if anyone has experienced this rattle, uses it as a way to id, or if any of the other wrens make the same sound? This is my first real winter experiencing this species so I'm reaching out to the folks that have them around every winter. All I've read about through conversations on this list serve are about the "Jimp jimp" call.
