Yesterday, June 28, a Winter Wren was recorded singing along the Timberbrook Trail north of its intersection with the Four Birds Trail in Rockaway Twp. (David Bernstein). A snippet of its song is below:

Today, another Winter Wren was found on Berkshire Valley Road near Taylor Road in Rockaway Twp. (Tim Vogel).

Winter Wren is a traditional nester in northern Morris County as illustrated by breeding bird atlas data from the 1990s where breeding was confirmed in two separate blocks and possible or probable in five other blocks. All of these records are from the Morris Highlands. In 2013, a Winter Wren was heard singing throughout June on Snake Hill Road in Rockaway Twp.
