Nice to hear the advantages of a messy tangle of branches and tree debris. I'll probably not see a winter wren but so happy to learn about them and see them in your photos

You might see one yet! Thank you for commenting. I hope you see a Winter Wren.

We’ve had tons of branches and even some trees fall this winter. As much as possible we want to leave these in our yard as habitat. Some we are moving to better locations - such as not in the driveway!

Laughing. Yes, the driveway is not first choice for fallen trees. But it is soul satisfying that you are leaving what you can for habitat, giving life to many creatures and providing a teaching moment to your friends and neighbors.

I love all wrens, but this one does charm the buttons right off my winter parka.

I have seen a Winter Wren on your property before with you beside me as an expert spotter and photographer.

We did that, didn't we? We must do again.
