Inca Wren

Cranioleuca henricae

The Inca Wren (Cranioleuca henricae) is a small bird found in the Andes of South America. It has a distinctive white eyebrow and a brownish-gray plumage. This species is known for its secretive behavior, often staying hidden in dense undergrowth. Inca Wrens are typically found in montane cloud forests and humid shrubby areas, where they forage for insects and small invertebrates. They have a melodious song and are often heard before they are seen. The Inca Wren is not currently considered to be globally threatened, but habitat loss and degradation may pose future risks to its populations.
